Discipleship
See Lives Transformed
Why did you go into ministry in the first place? Most likely you wanted to make disciples, see lives changed, see the Kingdom of God advanced. You wanted to see transformation.

Building A Discipling Culture

Everyone says, “We need to live differently. We need to live more incarnationally, more missionally?” But what does that look like? And how do we actually do it? What are the key indicators that we’re moving in the right direction? We see the need. Now we need the...
