The Grit and Grace of Disciple-Making

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt kicked off our January vision series, preaching from 2 Timothy 2:1-7. He unpacks the essential elements of disciple-making—trustworthiness, teaching, and grit—drawing parallels to Paul's instructions in 2 Timothy. He asks us to imagine a movement so powerful, it sustains itself across four generations. That's the vision he shares as he discuss the qualities needed for a disciple-making movement to thrive.

Pastor Ben also draws on the wisdom from near-death experiences in "Imagine Heaven," intertwining spiritual growth with the concept of stewardship. He then encourages us to boldly step into the grit and grace of disciple-making, to embrace the call to spread our faith. The power of generational disciple-making is how we hope to truly see the Father answer the Lord's Prayer at NewCity, in Orlando, and beyond.
