Dave speaks with Roy Moran about fresh opportunities for disciple-making and movements in Western contexts like Australia and New Zealand. Roy reflects on several key shifts that shaped his own journey:



Key Shifts Roy Made




From belief to obedience.Jesus’ invitation “follow me” and His final command to “obey everything I have commanded you” show that disciple-making is about getting people in front of God’s Word and helping them obey and share it.



Re-gospelling.Forgiveness is part of the gospel—but not the whole. The fuller gospel shapes how we love people as humans first, before trying to be spiritually impressive.



Seeing the gospel move away from us.Jesus sent His disciples out. We need to make the shift of seeing the gospel move away from us rather than attracting people towards us.



Confidence in the Word and Spirit alone.God’s Word ahas power without our explanations—especially when paired with obedience and sharing. The Spirit enables people to obey and to also share their story, not just their “faith.”



Not persuading but loving.Disciple-making in the West requires listening, connecting, and understanding others. Then if people give God’s Word and Spirit access, He works in their lives.




Final Word of Encouragement from Roy Moran



“Jesus had a dream of bringing heaven to earth…What would it be like if we were to learn from [where movements are exploding] and begin to implement some of the strategies of multiplying disciples? I think it is possible!…I’m seeing it in my own world right now… I know it can happen here and I know it can happen with you!”
