Before Jesus left, he gave simple and clear instructions for his disciples to “Go, and make disciples.” Now, over 2,000 years later, as we look at the landscape of the Church of God and of Christianity as a whole, we are often left scratching our heads, asking, “Are we doing what Jesus instructed?” We are leading people through our new believer classes, enrolling them in our small groups, and encouraging them to read the Bible for themselves, but are we really making disciples the way Jesus intended? This workshop will seek to develop a working definition for discipleship, lay out a simple (but hard) road map for discipling those in your congregation, provide a memorable toolkit for discipling others, and explore how to raise up empowered disciples with a Kingdom vision.
