Asking the RIGHT questions is everything...

Leaders ask: "What's working?"
  • Hence an obsession with currently trending models/systems of ministry—and those who make them happen.
Disciplemakers ask: "How can we imitate Jesus' disciplemaking way of life together?"
  • Hence an obsession with the person of Jesus Christ as found in the Gospels—and a deep friendship with those who share this obsession.
Here's the Point:

The questions we ask take our lives in a direction... to somewhere and someone.

Where and to whom are your questions taking you?




Disciplemaking is a person driven life, not just a purpose driven life. And that person is Jesus Christ.

If we get the person right, the purpose will be clear.

If we don't get the person right, then ________________________.

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:

A day exploring  Jesus and disciplemaking  with college students who are studying for ministry  at Moody Bible Institute. (Wondering what Kavanah is? Go here. )   The more students are engaged, the more they can learn.   (If video above doesn't appear,  go here. ) The more they learn, the greater the chance that they'll be transformed by Jesus.   The more they are transformed by Jesus, the greater possibility that they will change the way they live in the world.   The more they change the way they live in the world, the more they will change the world...  one heart at a time... just like Jesus . Hey! You've read all the way to the end. You must be a real friend. Thank you. Here's a fun short video from my 11-year-old daughter for my birthday last week:  )  Track with me on social media!
