Having a hard time telling others about how discipleship can change their lives? I highly recommend this read! I’m on chapter 3 and already have had so many “ah ha” moments! In fact, it’s also helping me think through how to better train disciple-makers. Written by a business consultant and coach for small businesses, its lessons are discovery based! (Generally the best way to learn in my opinion). So far I have realized that I can sometimes get into the habit of just expecting people to want the Gospel, discipleship, Lifegroup, etc., because it is so amazing. But actually, it could really help people “connect the dots” by simply highlighting the “urgent and compelling” benefits for people, moreso than what might be considered the “eternal and convicting” truths of why we need Jesus. I mean, a seed is a seed, so both ways are great. But I think the techniques I’m learning in this book help to shew away people’s distractions, break through the hype, and clear some of their worries out of the way, so that the seed falls right in their patch of soft, receptive, and good soil. I’ll keep posting new treasures I find as I read through the rest, and you can join me if you like with #discipleshipsolid //#discipleship #4soils #findingpeopleofpeace #makingdisciples #disciplemaking #sandystoriesblog #missions #businessasmissions
