The 5 Stages of Church and How To Use Them Effectively in Discipleship

Jeremy is joined by Steve Jellicorse, who's spent decades discipling his family and community through a network of small home churches. He's also been involved in international ministry, using house church as a tool for believers in persecuted parts of the world to met.

As a grandfather, pastor, former business executive, and disciple-maker, Steve has a ton of wisdom to share with us today on generational impact, the 5 forms of church, radically selling out to Jesus, and more.

The conversation also touches on the importance of humility, the unique challenge of discipling Americans, and the role grandparents play in spiritual education.
