Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus had just left us his “5 Big Steps” or “3 Important Ingredients” for disciple-making? It would be so much simpler if discipleship in the real world was a little more spelled out and outlined into a few basics.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to show you how discipleship looks less like one big thing or series of classes… and more like a million little things.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why there will never be a perfect set of classes or “one big thing” that adds up to maturity in our churches.
• How Romans 8:28 helps clarify what God is up to when it comes to our sanctification.
• Why dependence on the works of the Holy Spirit is crucial in discipleship.
• Why disciple-making was never meant to be the job of a few professionals.

Staying on track toward accomplishing large goals can seem hard, but all big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision and we all do exactly what we choose to do every day.

For many in Western civilization, our idea of “family” seems like a failed experiment. We’ve been sold the line that the family exists primarily as a springboard for the individual. But what if our families functioned more like a team–a team on a mission?
