What is disciple-making? Some churches tend to think that almost everything they do is disciple-making or “discipleship.” However, when you think everything is disciple-making, then nothing really is. And this is a problem! To build a true disciple-making culture in your church you must first know what you’re trying to build. You must be able to define it. I have a very specific and scriptural definition of disciple-making. Disciple-making is when a mature believer becomes a disciple maker by using his or her influence to intentionally lead a small group of others to grow in spiritual maturity, serve in missional ministry, and reproduce as disciple makers. This is true disciple-making. The early church knew what disciple-making is, and they turned the world upside down for Jesus. When we stop thinking that everything is disciple-making and start training our people to be true disciple makers, then maybe we can turn the world upside down for Him once again.

 D-LIFE DEVO...
As a believer in Christ, do you know that the greatest disciple maker who ever walked this earth lives inside of you? That’s right! Through His Holy Spirit, Jesus lives in you and the DNA of disciple-making flows through your spiritual veins. When believers step out in faith to be disciple makers, we experience the incredible power and presence of God in our lives like never before. This is how you know that you can be a disciple maker. When Jesus gave our Great Commission, it came with a promise. After commanding us to “make disciples,” He said, “And behold, I AM with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:18-20). He did not say, “I will be with you.” He said, “I AM (ego eimi) with you.” This is significant! This is one of the great “I AM” statements of Jesus in the New Testament. All disciple makers can know for certain that Jehovah God—the great I AM—is with us and that the DNA of disciple-making flows through us. So, let’s go make disciples and put the promise to test!
