5 Key Discipleship Principles Every Christian Should be Familiar With
1 – Be a disciple maker of disciple makers, not just a disciple or a disciple who makes a disciple. Jesus made disciple makers, not just disciples. Now it can go viral. This changes what you do and why you do it in discipleship. 2 – Read the Word to understand the Word to live […]
It’s Almost Sunday!
Each Saturday night I take some time to pray for Sunday. Sometimes I pray by myself but usually it is on a zoom with a handful of people who want to see God move on Sunday. It is a practice that we have done for over two years. There are a number of things that […]
