Episode notes
Multiply, Don’t Just Grow
- Multiplication must be the destination, not mere growth or attendance.
- Disciple-making requires intentional design, not accidental activity.
Define The Disciple Destination
- Define the exact type of disciple you want to produce before planning anything.
- If you can't describe that disciple, you won't recognize one when you see it.
Let Destination Drive Your Methods
- Destination determines which vehicles will get you there; not all methods fit every goal.
- Some disciple-making goals require specific, reproducible relational vehicles, not just programs.
