What happens when you feel God leading you, beyond a weekly meeting with a handful of other Christians, out to make disciples in the most underserved neighborhood in your city?
In this episode, Caesar is joined by author and community builder Terence Schilstra. You'll hear the exciting story of how his traditional church small group slowly morphed into a missional community. Along with several other Christian families, they've become connected to over 30 families in their new neighborhood as they make disciples.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Get started here… From this episode: “Our calling to make disciples among a specific group of people requires us to be present with them. Just like Jesus came to us as a human, and took on the rhythms and customs of the people he was with, so must we give our lives, not just our programs, to that God calls us to. Making disciples is an all-of-life engagement that ultimately radically reorients our time and resources for God’s glory.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
- How a "small voice" became a much louder calling from God.
- What personal challenges they faced to follow God deeper.
- The problems their small group experienced. (Not everyone loved the change!)
- The amazing adventure that this community now lives!
