Cory Hartman, a leader with New Generations and co-author of Future Church, shares his transformative journey from pastoral ministry to disciple-making. After stepping back, he realized the imbalance in resources dedicated to discipleship versus Sunday services. He discusses how to cultivate disciple-making in urban settings and emphasizes the power of existing social networks for growth. Cory also highlights the importance of engaging with communities to foster multi-generational movements, offering practical insights and resources for effective disciple-making.

What does it look like when a church gets serious about making disciples who make disciples? You're about to find out. We're really excited to bring you this sermon from my friend Chris Marlin, who is the pastor at City Church OTR. Chris is one of a handful of pastors around Cincinnatti who, around the exact same time, has been inspired to really step into disciple-making as a church leader. His process is very similar to the 1KH model, and so we wanted to share his perspective and his framework because we think it's highly duplicable across other churches around the city and nation. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:20 Dominion 4:00 How did Christianity grow so rapidly? 14:39 Jesus and Paul's last words 20:30 Triads 28:49 Why are we doing this?

This refreshing approach shifts your perspective on forming deep, impactful relationships in your faith journey.

Jeremy talks to Russ, another dedicated Cincinnati disciple-maker about Russ' approach to making discipleship accessible. Russ gives a live example of how conversations go with the people he's discipling, gives a reminder about how we're to be amongst the lost (not just our Christian friends), how to discern if things are becoming idols, and the power of communities in multiplying disciples.
