DMM DOWNLOADS

The destination is the redemption of all people…the way to get there is diverse. So each of us at the start of the year can refocus on the vision of Jesus…to seek and save the lost, and we can ask God to show each of us what route we’re supposed to take to get there.  As we enter 2026 we are committed to increasing prayer and practice of DMM Habits, and learning from others and from the Lord about...

Happy New Year! Happy 2026! We are back and starting the new year off and a new season of DMM Downloads with a conversation that we hear often from church leaders. Will it work here?  As we enter 2026 we are committed to increasing prayer and practice of DMM Habits, and learning from others and from the Lord about his heart to seek the save the lost. Let's learn together! DMM Downloads is a minist...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We end 2025 with a DMM Download focused on church being a system or ecosystem. Systems are built and ordered while ecosystems are organic, messy, flexible. They are more like a garden than a machine. Church in America seems to build church system rather than nurturing God’s church ecosystem.  We wish you a very blessed and Merry Christmas season and a very happy...

Merry Christmas everyone! We are one week away from celebrating Christmas in Northern Colorado, and we landed today's episode on an unlikely biblical story- the story of Jonah. The assignment given to Jonah was arise and go, but Jonah went in the opposite direction of God's love for the people of Nineveh. Jonah basically said no. I have heard it said that apathy is the opposite of love…Jonah said...

Delivery systems assessment offers new ideas for new times. We are amazed at the need for a paradigm shift in how we think about and act as the church. In this episode we talk about the need to evaluate and assess the delivery system of the church. How is our delivery system working in the church of North America? Please consider sending a quick note to us via email, our site, or by leaving a comm...

Many of us drive to our churches on Sunday mornings passing the people along the way without paying much attention to the needs of the people around us. Here in Timnath we drive a round about on a street skipping exit 1 and 2 to get to the church building, but DMM has given Jeff a new way to see the people around him as he travels to the church building.  Please consider sending a quick note to us...

We take a quick look at John 13 where Jesus tells his disciples that people will know they are his disciples by how we love one another. The phrase, they will know us by our love, is taken from this bible verse and is a good point of discussion for today's download.  Please consider sending a quick note to us via email, our site, or by leaving a comment here. We would love to hear if this ministry...

One year ago we launched the DMM Downloads Podcast! Thanks to Jeff for being willing to record our conversations as he has been sharing downloads with me for years. I have grown to understand the paradigm shift needed to embrace Disciple Making Movements as a North American pastor, and I can tell you I am thankful for his patience with me and Jeff's willingness to share what he has learned. We str...

DMM is a gift for North America, for Northern Colorado, for the Church but is is costly. God give us your heart for the lost we pray. The gift of vision, the gift of God’s heart, the gift of not a new strategy but a life more aligned and more closely tied to our Heavenly Father. DMM is a gift. Please consider sending a quick note to us via email, our site, or by leaving a comment here. We would lo...

We would love to hear if this...

In this episode we share a personal story of how we're learning to coach for dependence on the Spirit instead of making disciples dependent on our coaching. In DMM NOCO we offer awareness, training, opportunities for modeling and practicing DMM, resources, and on going coaching. The coaching we're talking about is a different kind of coaching. Rudy shares about "video game coaching" young athletes...

We would love to hear if this ministry is helping you in...

In this episode we share a lesson we are learning from a recent DMM Habits Training class looking at the habit of Discovery. The class was looking at John 3:16-21 together and verses 17 says...Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn the world...the discovery was...I am not condemned! What a great discovery and reminder from the Scriptures! The lesson of "I am not condemned" is simple in that w...

As we seek to make multiplying disciple makers in Northern Colorado we continue to honestly follow the Lord Jesus through the ups and downs of life. In this episode we discuss the need to persevere in faith. Many of us believe God wants to seek and save the lost, but what does that belief do? As Jeff says in this episode...It’s not what you believe. It’s what you live out. It’s what we apply. It’s...

Today we talk about small steps of obedience lead to larger and more sustained walking with the Lord. Learning to follow the Master and his leading through the Holy Spirit is a mark of a disciple maker. Learning to follow Jesus in small steps of obedience helps train us for the sustained living wherever and whenever He wants to send us.  Let's take action in 2025 towards prioritizing the Great Com...

This episode focuses the conversation on God giving a vision for the work here in Northern Colorado. That vision involves us "drawing a circle around lostness in our region". That vision fuels a burden to see lost people found. The burden moves to urgency as we continue to see people's lives hurting and broken all around us. That urgency moves us to intentionality. Our habits and rhythms and pract...
