The gaping hole in our understanding of Jesus and disciplemaking...

Image
If we don't understand the differences between training and speaking, teaching, and preaching, then there is a gaping hole in our understanding of how Jesus actually made disciples. How is training different than speaking, teaching, and preaching? What could a Jesus-like approach to training look like for you? These are the primary questions designed to help you explore The Training Genius of Jesus. But here's the catch:  The Training Genius of Jesus  isn't a book to be read, consumed, and forgotten. It's an interactive dialogue with a handful of disciplemaking friends who are wrestling how Jesus made disciple makers . Surprise! When it comes to  training,   if you're doing all the talking, you're doing it wrong. Here's an excerpt from The Training Genius of Jesus Who should you do this with? * Church staff * Small group leaders * Volunteer ministry leaders * Your family How to Use The Training Genius of Jesus It's as simple as this... * O pen the bookle

How YOU Can Encourage Your Pastor(s)

Image
[The following is an interview the National Pastor's Prayer Network conducted with me a number of years ago. Please know that when I talk about encouraging pastors, I'm NOT only referring to senior pastors—but youth pastors, children's pastors, worship pastors, etc. The various pictures below are of some pastors I love and know as friends.] Bill, your website states, "While Cadre Missionaries  will bring training to any size church, we also have a heart for the church with one pastor (and many volunteer leaders)." Why this particular emphasis? Larger churches have an inequitable voice in America because in America bigger means successful. You can question that all you want, but that's the way it is. While we don't have an ax to grind with bigger churches simply because they are larger, we want to passionately champion what God is doing in the “regular” church . (I refuse to say "smaller" church—because it implies inferiority in our culture—
