Episode notes
Visibility Isn't Discipleship
- Growing platforms and tools can make leaders feel influential without producing deep long-term change.
- Short-term growth strategies often ignore future costs and sacrifice formation for visibility.
Jesus' Model: Invest In The Few
- Jesus prioritized intense investment in a small core (3, 12, 70) rather than the crowd alone.
- That focused investment enabled reproduction of discipleship across generations.
Prioritize Inside-Out Formation
- Aim for inside-out formation, not just external behaviors and programs.
- Teach people to know themselves, self-reflect, and look to God for inner transformation.
