I’ve heard lots of sermons over the years, and lots of them have covered managing your money. But I’ve only heard a few on managing your body. I find that interesting, especially since the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit for the believer. I think a little more information on temple-maintenance and management […]

Chosen Accountability for Besetting Sin Being accountable helps us to encourage one another to be steadfast in living out our faith. Steadfast living is becoming “fit” in terms of our walk with Christ. Sin has a way of provoking us into wrong thoughts and actions. Being accountable with prayer and fasting can help us win the battle […]

The end of a passing year and the beginning of a new year is a great time to take stock of your life. An annual time of evaluation is an important way to see if you are living a purposeful life. It is a great way to see if you’ve lived your life for the […]

Last night, I had an awesome experience. I went to a dental office for a discipleship group. Yes, you heard me right: I went to a dental office for a discipleship group. I did not go to a church, a house, or a restaurant. I went to a place where they work on teeth! In […]

I have a huge question to ask you: If you knew that meeting with three people every week over the next year to talk about becoming more like Jesus would lead to each of them taking three more people and doing the same thing the next year, would you do it?  Take a minute to […]

2019 is only about three weeks away. That means this is a great time to give you a challenge.

Several years ago, I was in a small group with some church leaders when one of the leaders said, “Let’s face it: multiplying disciples doesn’t really work.” I can’t tell you all that was going on in my head when I heard that statement, but I will tell you that I was in shock. How […]

One of the last things Jesus said during His time on earth was to, “Go and make disciples.” Most Christians know this command, and they believe it – they just don’t know what a disciple actually looks like. It is very hard to make a disciple if you don’t know what a disciple is supposed to look […]

Last week I was fortunate enough to be part of the National Discipleship.org Forum in Nashville, Tennessee organized by discipleship.org. Watching nearly two-thousand people gather to learn about disciple making is incredibly encouraging. I know the Lord is saying “well done” to Bobby Harrington and the rest of the team that made this forum a […]

About a year after I started pastoring a new church plant, I knew I was in over my head. My seminary training was good, but it seemed to fall short of the challenges I faced while leading a new church to become a disciple making movement. I remember reading everything about church growth and disciple […]
