Four findings recently surfaced from a national study of Disciple Making in USA churches:
- Fewer than 5% of churches in the US have a reproducing disciple making culture
- An absence of churches reflecting viral-like disciple making movements
- Lack of commonly understood definitions
- Overestimating Impact
*National Study on Disciple Making in USA Churches: High Aspirations Amidst Disappointing Results
The report cited above elaborates on each of the key points. If you lead one of the churches within that 5%, then your ministry is exceptional – well done! You can read the report in it’s entirety – CLICK HERE.
7 Questions to Sharpen your Disciple Making Process
Reflection Questions:
- What was your discipleship journey like?
- What “steps” of your journey have been repeated by others, through your ministry?
- When you consider the essential steps a disciple takes, what steps are missing from the list you created above?
- What steps does your church do well?
Planning Questions:
- Which steps could your church improve on?
- Select one step you need to focus on now?
- Identify one action you can take to enhance that step.
Of course, these questions are just a first step. But when taken seriously, consistently monitoring progress, you can create a “reproducing disciple making culture”. It is within reach. You can move the needle in the right direction. Review the Making Disciples Storyboard and assess where your ministry is strong and where there are gaps. Then take action.
It is mind-boggling to think that the primary mission of the church is to make disciples; yet, less than 5% of our churches “have a reproducing disciple making culture”. Through the hard work of capable disciplemakers under the guidance of the Holy Spirit – we can do better than that! Wouldn’t you agree?

We met in La Jolla, CA and had a rich time of connecting and learning.
Four values define the Leadership Collective:
- Continual Learning
- Meaningful Relationships
- Challenge Assumptions
- Action & Reflection
The Kick-off Retreat focused on disciplemaking. We asked participants to process four key questions so that they could:
- DEFINE a disciple
- ASSESS their discipleship process
- IDENTIFY a Person of Peace
- ENVISION their discipleship process

Morning “toast” with Collective participants.
What I enjoyed most was the way God worked during our time together to build trust, provide unique insights and forge new pathways to make more and better disciples.

Greetings!
As you know, I strive to keep you informed about excellent coach training opportunities. My vision is to help leaders take an empowering approach to develop the leaders around you! One of the most significant shifts leaders face as you embrace and practice a coach approach, is moving from coaching an individual to coaching a group or team. It may seem like a simple transition; in reality, the shift from individual to group grows exponentially in complexity.
My prayer is that this would support your work of disciplemaking, leader development and church planting/multiplication.
