It’s time to reexamine your methods of discipleship. But how do you effectively disciple an entire body? It’s not about making converts. The responsibility falls to every believer in your fellowship to create intentional followers of Christ, who in turn create other intentional followers.
The secret is in your small groups. Discover a new vision for what the church can be by challenging how you create disciples.
