Disciplemaking and Sports? Disciplemaking Friendships that Multiply!

Meanwhile, at the summer training camp, Crazy Pastor Steve (CPS) teaches student athletes that The Disciplemaker's Prayer is way more than a prayer. It's a way of life together! 

What might God be able to do in our country and around the world if a small cadre of athletes and coaches embraced Jesus-like disciplemaking friendships that multiply?

Exciting thought, ain't it? That's exactly WHY we love and partner with Cole Espenshied of Kingdom Sports.

I dare you to stop and pray it RIGHT NOW.

No. Seriously. Right now.

The Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus training experiences 2023

Image
There’s a lot of talk about disciplemaking these days. But what does disciplemaking  really  look like for you in your everyday, real life? That's what we'll explore together. Bring your Bible, some friends, and your sense of humor. What? With a focus on Jesus, we'll explore how to be a disciple—who makes disciples—who make more disciples. Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus.

Why We LOVE Small-Town Pastors and Churches

Image
(Click image to enlarge for reading.)  Why we love small-town pastors and churches . Below: A few years ago at RHMA's Small-Town Pastor's Conference... I had so much fun bringing a Word of encouragement to about 500 pastors, wives and ministry leaders from over 30 different states at RHMA's Small Town Pastors' Conference. I contend  there is no such thing as "small" church . Why do we love small town pastors and churches? Disciplemaking like Jesus requires robust relationships—i.e., disciplemaking friendships—and the small town church is poised to  lead the way in this movement . Instead of only counting attendance this week at church, try counting disciplemakers .
