We all have insecurities and fears around this idea of inviting someone into a disciple-making relationship. And so we look at the example of Jesus, what did he do here?

Can you name two things that Jesus did that someone else didn't do the same sort of thing?

If you're not dedicated to your disciplines, you'll be destroyed by your distractions.

What's your excuse for not following the final command that the Lord Jesus gave us?

Why is disciple making such a foreign concept in the church? Especially, when it's clearly a pillar of Jesus's ministry, like when we look at the life of Christ and one of the things we always strive to do here is look at the life of Christ. His ministry seemed to be founded on disciple-making as one of the key pillars.

The goal for the person we are discipling is not just to follow Jesus in their own personal life and personal walk. The goal is that they would follow Jesus in their personal life and personal walk, but then go out and help others to do with them, what I've done with that person or what the discipler’s done with that person.

I would say that Scripture is the primary way that disciples can grow in their faith. And we're just kind of unpack that a little bit. Of that truth, that it's the primary way that disciples grow in their life. And we want to look at that together today. So Tony, I kind of threw that out there that this is the biggest way, the primary way that disciples grow in their life.

That's right disciple making. There are some, and I think all of them are helpful to some degree. And one of the reasons we wanted to do this episode is because I think as we look at disciple-making from different angles and perspectives, then we get closer to clarity in our mind.

A holistic relationship where the goal was that the disciple would become just like the rabbi. And to me, when we're talking about Jesus style, disciple-making we see one of the passages in Paul's writings. 1Corinthians 11 one, follow me as I follow the example of Christ.

Everybody welcome back to the practitioners podcast. We're applying Jesus' style. Disciple-making in everyday life. Special bonus episode for you today, we are going to take some audio that we used on the reclamation podcast and share it with you today. It's a lot about Justin's story about his heart for disciple-making.

What is disciple-making, what's the difference in the language? What does that mean? How do we do it? Small groups, life groups, cell groups, all the groups, all the names for the groups. And, and how to we build, how do we build the kingdom of God together? What does that look like?
