Learning from the best – those who started a disciple-making movement
Description
Imagine you had the opportunity to look over the shoulder of some of the most effective disciple-makers in the world. You watch how they invest in people, guide conversations, and help disciples grow into people who disciple others.
What if you could not only observe this, but begin to do the same?
This program gives you that opportunity. Based on global research among highly effective movement catalysts, you will discover seven best practices that consistently lead to multiplication. These are not theories or ideal models, but lived practices tested across cultures and contexts, from rural villages to global cities.
Throughout this course, you will follow the journey of Daniel, a disciple-maker who discovers these best practices one by one. Walking with him through real-life situations, will help you not only understand but also experience these practices.
What You Will Take Away
After this program, you will have:
- Seen the seven best practices in action in the life of an effective discipler
- Applied these seven best practices to your current discipling approach
- Developed practical skills in selection, focus, and relational discipling
You will learn how to:
- Select and invest in the right disciples
- Focus your time and energy for greater impact
- Move from program-based to relational disciple-making
- Lead others into obedience, not just understanding
- Build a culture of accountability that sustains multiplication
- Simplify your approach so others can easily pass it on
- Keep multiplication in view from the very beginning
Core Content
We will explore each of the seven practices one by one. In each session, you will see how Daniel applies the practice in everyday ministry and be guided to apply it to your own discipleship context.
Each session includes:
- Short teaching inputs
- Real-life scenarios
- Reflective questions
- Prayerful pauses
- Concrete action steps
By the end of this program, you will not only have seen these seven practices in action—you will also have developed your own action plan to apply them in your current ministry.
Movements do not start with better programs. They start with different practices, lived consistently over time. And they can start with you. Wanna dive in?
