As I woke up this morning, I had the distinct impression that God was interested in one question:
Who?
Even before I woke up I sensed this question rolling around in my mind: Who?
There’s something wrong in our churches today with our commitment to discipleship.
Churches are too focused on helping people to live the “Christian life” as if all Jesus expects of His followers is to be good Christians.
Mark 5:19-20
Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. (NIV)

Where are the proven multipliers?
Do you know any? I’m wondering where they are?
Specifically, I’m looking for men and and women who have strategically multiplied disciples and leaders who make disciples who make disciples.
My good friend and colleague Kirk Anderson has a great blog focused on urban Disciple Making Movements. You can learn more about Kirk here. He is committed to inspiring disciple makers to think and act strategically to reach their cities.
Jesus started a disciplemaking movement. He made disciples who made disciples who made disciples. Will you join the movement?
Over the past several years, my passion for disciplemaking and disciplemaking movements continues to grow.
Jesus sent His disciples to make disciples to make disciples to make disciples!
However, many followers of Jesus have never actually made a disciple and don’t know how to make disciples.
Two questions I try to reflect on every day:
What do I need to repent of?
What do I need to repeat?

If you want to take significant action toward engaging culture, the Journey Guide will help you accomplish this.
Here is a simple way to describe coaching to someone:

Tom Nebel and Gary Rohrmayer describe the coaching relationship like this…
