Daniel Im is a pastor, podcaster, and author of The Discipleship Opportunity, a brand new book. His goal in discipleship is friendship by investing time, money, and energy in others, but specifically stewarding his time well to reach both believers and unbelievers who are interested.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Dwelling 1:14. Led by Pastor Greg Finke, Dwelling 1:14 is a discipleship organization that comes alongside pastors and leaders to help them intentionally disciple their people. Greg has worked with hundreds of churches and tens of thousands of people. He has developed a year-long training process that helps your church produce greater disciples in their everyday lives. He’s an experienced practitioner and mentor, and he’s ready to help your church. You can contact him and learn more about this year-long process here.

Also, check out a webinar I had with Greg Finke in June of this year to help your church create a discipleship plan.

Let’s still include some Dwelling114 graphics, links, and webinar material here for when we post it on our website.

Are you following Jesus?

Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don’t know how. We extensively studied everything Jesus commanded of us and located five key targets to which Jesus invited His followers. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.

In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created a Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. And the best news of all: it’s free! You will receive your results immediately and be presented with the next steps to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.
