The destiny of the Church is directly tied to how passionate she remains to her mission.

we should focus on people who don't know Jesus yet, but Jesus himself gave us the model for doing that: Disciple people.

Effective discipleship builds the church, not the other way around. We need to understand the church as the effect of discipleship and not the cause. If

From the Greek apostolos meaning "one who is sent out." Apostles are visionary and pioneering, always pushing into new territory. They like to establish new churches, ministries, non-profits, Kingdom-minded businesses or initiatives.

one creates a discipling culture, modeled on the life and ministry of Jesus, by accident. No one accidentally creates disciples. Discipleship is an intentional pursuit.

The message was clear: to be a disciple meant that you learn how to make disciples — an ever-multiplying movement meant to bless the whole world.

From our experience, if you want to make disciples, if you want to build a discipling culture in your community, you are going to need three things: 1. A discipleship vehicle (I call it a Huddle) 2. People need access to your life (the texture of Family on Mission) 3. A discipling language (the discipling language I use is called LifeShapes)

Effective discipleship builds the church, not the other way around. We need to understand the church as the effect of discipleship and not the cause.

the purpose of a family on mission is to multiply the life of Jesus by reproducing ourselves into the lives of others, so they become disciples of Jesus who can then reproduce themselves into the lives of others.

Where kairos is an event word—something that has a beginning and ending—repentance (metanoia) is a process word, as is believe (pistis). The Circle is a process, a way of living that does not have a specific beginning and ending. One does not become a disciple of Jesus and stand still; discipleship is a lifestyle of learning. And this learning begins with a change of heart.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING ANY OF US SHOULD BECOME GREAT AT, IT'S MAKING DISCIPLES WHO CAN MAKE DISCIPLES.

The greatest act of leadership is mentoring. No matter how much you may learn, achieve, accumulate, or accomplish, if it all dies with you, then you are a generational failure.
