Using tools is not discipleship. But discipleship is easier if we utilize tools. In this episode, Andrew talks to Jim McKnight about the importance of having tools, some of their favorite discipleship tools, and warnings about relying too much on them. If you're a disciple-maker and wanting to see generations, this would be a good episode to watch.

Too many people are trying to lead others in discipleship without ever truly walking with them. They’re quick to instruct, but slow to connect. But disciple-making—at its core—is relational. Before you contribute to someone’s spiritual growth, they need to know you’ve spent time with Jesus… and that you actually care about them. In this episode, Andrew and John unpack a simple but powerful framework: TLC. No, not the 90s band—but the essential relational ingredients for influencing others toward Jesus. T: Time with Jesus — Do the people you’re leading sense that you walk closely with the Lord? (substance + credibility = fuel) L: Love for People — Do they feel genuinely known and cared for? (means) C: Contribution — Only then can you help them grow in faith and obedience. (content + character) This conversation challenges the idea that training or titles qualify us to disciple others. Instead, it invites us back to the way of Jesus—life-on-life, rooted in love, and shaped by presence.

Everyday people are the key to seeing the kingdom advance and it turns out Jesus plan' of multiplication is the key to seeing the nations reached! Josh Howard has been a pivotal figure in global disciple-making movements, with a particular focus on South Asia. Since 2008, he has dedicated himself to spreading the Kingdom of God by raising disciples who make disciples, leaders who develop leaders, and churches that plant churches. In his role at Central India Christian Mission (CICM), Josh oversees the church planting school, preparing church planters to venture into unreached areas across India and neighboring countries. In 2015, he launched "Ignite," a ministry that has remarkably started over 16,000 churches in about eight years through movements of multiplication, including over 8,000 churches in 2022. Currently, Josh serves as the Global Mobilization Catalyst for E3 Partners and as the Director of Vision and Mobilization for Discipleship.org, where he continues to inspire and equip others in the mission of disciple-making. Beyond his ministry work, Josh cherishes time with his family. He and his wife, Lashi, reside in the Indianapolis area with their three children: sons Josiah and Jeremiah, and daughter Zara.

We see in Jesus' model that there are three components of disciple making, and in our culture we usually stick with one. Susie Walther helps us walk out what it looks like to incorporate all 3. Susie Walther is the founder of The Well Training Ministry. As a young woman, she served in the military and committed her life to Christ through the influence of her Army roommate. Susie received much of her early discipleship training through The Navigators and served as associate staff with that ministry for 10 years at Ft. Campbell, KY. Her ministry spans 30 years and counting, and includes leading Bible studies, teaching and equipping, mentoring, speaking at conferences and spiritually coaching Christian women in their ministries. Thousands of women have come through the doors of The Well ministry for Bible study and training, which equip women to more effectively do their own work of ministry in their own spheres of influence. In this episode: • Why do we limit discipleship? • Are the 3 components happening at the same time? • How have the 3 components looked in your own life? • Inviting others to the work RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Pathway Series The Well Training Ministry The 3 Modes of Disciple Making  Original Release Date: 04/03/25

Spiritual vitality includes many things, and living on mission is one of them. Jesus told us to go and make disciples, so why wouldn't that command be something that makes us closer to Him? In this episode, John has a conversation with Matthew Clark about spiritual vitality and missional living, and how they are much more connected than we tend to think they are. Matthew Clark is a veteran disciple-maker and seasoned U.S. Army Blackhawk pilot. Currently he is dedicated to making disciples in the most remote corners of the world with JAARS, a missionary aviation organization serving to cover the crucial Last Mile of Missions. Matthew is passionate about growing spiritual vitality into every aspect of missional living; believing that true impact comes from a deep unwavering connection with God.

In this episode, Andrew and John talk about the different expressions of Church, and how each expression reveals a different characteristic of God, and helps us know Him more. We are called to worship God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the different expressions of the Church help us love Him with the different parts of ourselves. To be clear: we are talking about the different expressions of Church within Christianity. The different expressions of Church that worship the one true God.

This is important to remember because the way we view evangelism and discipleship matters. There seems to be an understanding of evangelism and discipleship in the Church that puts limitations on both commands. John talks to Brad Briscoe about Bounded vs. Centered Set discipleship, and why those distinctions make a huge difference in our day-to-day discipleship. Brad Brisco directs strategy development for the North American Mission Board. He holds a doctorate in missional ecclesiology; his thesis focused on assisting existing congregations to transition in a missional direction. He also serves on the national leadership team for Forge America Mission Training Network. Brad is the co-author of Missional Essentials, a 12-week small group study guide, The Missional Quest: Becoming a Church of the Long Run, Next Door As It Is In Heaven, and Covocational Church Planting.
