Episode notes

INSIGHT

Discipleship as a Pathway

Discipleship is best viewed as a pathway: seek, follow, grow, go.
This pathway is position-driven, focusing on where a person is rather than just activities.

INSIGHT

Importance of Transparent Space

Discipleship happens best in the "transparent space"—small groups of 2-5 people.
This intimate setting fosters honest, deep discipleship beyond larger group settings.

ADVICE

Use Huddles to Mobilize Disciples

Use "huddles" as intentional small groups to prepare and send disciples on mission.
Avoid stagnant groups by focusing on purpose and active mission beyond meetings.

In this session, Chip and Anthony emphasize the importance of every individual living on mission for Jesus through a structured pathway of seeking, following, growing, and going, highlighting intimate 'huddles' for effective disciple-making, and offering practical guidelines and resources to foster a dynamic, mission-focused community. In this episode, the speakers emphasize the importance of living on mission for Jesus by creating pathways for disciple making within the church. They advocate for a shift from a solely gathering mentality to a sending mentality, aiming to empower individuals to live their mission. They introduce a concept called 'huddles,' small groups of 2-5 people, fostering transparent and intimate discipleship environments. The focus is on establishing habitual rhythms of seeking, following, growing, and going, through three fundamental practices: sharing the heart, the message, and the mission. They reference Bobby Harrington and Alex Absalom's book 'Discipleship That Fits' and provide practical guidance for implementing these huddles effectively. The episode includes a discussion on the role of the leader, the optimal size, duration, location for huddles, and the importance of multiplying these groups over time.
