Episode notes
Small Group, Big Impact
- Jesus' plan focused on picking 12 men and investing three years to transform them from the inside out.
- That concentrated, relational approach enabled exponential, lasting change beyond programs or events.
Threefold Definition Of A Disciple
- A disciple equals learner, follower, and reproducer according to Tolson's study of 269 uses of the word.
- Reproduction (making disciples who make disciples) is the most neglected but essential element.
Name Your Disciple
- Ask yourself: Who discipled you and who are you discipling right now?
- If you can't name someone you're investing in, start by picking one person today.
