The Disciple Maker‘s Podcast

We must carefully examine the elements Jesus used to train and prepare His own disciples for being effective disciple makers themselves. In this episode, David Roadmap of TCM International Institute helps us discover what Jesus did to grow and prepare His disciples for multiplication and how you can do the same for those you’re currently discipling.

David Roadcup of TCM teaches us the importance of a spiritual-full life before being a spiritual leader in someone's life. The heart of leading and developing a life-changing discipleship ministry begins with the spiritual life of the leader. We must know Jesus personally and deeply. This episode will teach you how to dramatically grow in your own spiritual journey.

This episode is part 2 of a session Josh Spinks from e3partners led at the most recent National Disciple Making Forum. Josh teaches us the math behind the lost and how to prep our hearts to focus on them in prayer and in action.

We were made for multiplication. If you were faced with someone who didn’t know the Gospel, could you tell what the Gospel is in 10 seconds? In this episode, Josh Spinks of e3Partners focuses on the basics of training others in how to share with and disciple others.

In this episode we get to hear from multiple leaders from the Relational Discipleship Network about the effects of and how to realize when you’re doing too much.

The impact of being a force multiplier is great. But how do you draw out a clear disciple making process that is understandable, teachable, and reproducible? What are the absolutes for generational change? In this episode Jim, Bob, Joel, and Moose from Relational Discipleship Network share real world stories of generational change.  

This episode is about intentionally building a team of disciple makers and the challenges and successes that come along with that.

Human beings absorb truth in may more ways than merely hearing or reading. A disciple is not made through information transfer and no one knew this better than Jesus. For example, imagine integrating real life experiences (or labs) in disciple-making like Jesus did when he asked Peter to get out of the boat. Do you think Peter ever forgot that experience? This episode will give you a broad collect...

The Great commission has no exemptions--every Christ follower is included. But now do we make this a reality in our local church where "Truck Driver Ted" and "Soccer Mom Sally" are confident to make disciples? The responsibilitv falls to leaders to equip--that is, to provide equipment. The only way to create a culture of disciple making in your local church is if you have a strategy that includes...

Seeds Family Worship wants to inspire all ministry leaders, that means you, in this next episode with a call to action to not “miss the moment” you’ve been given as a leader to powerfully impact the lives of the next generation. We all see the battle in culture over the hearts of the young, and the enemy is sowing seeds of confusion at every turn. This is your moment to speak truth and bring the l...

Christian parents know they need to disciple their children, but they are often distracted, passive, and swept into the culture rather than being “transformed by the renewing of their minds” (Romans 12:2). Seeds Family Worship wants to equip ministry leaders with a call to action for parents to not “miss this critical moment” in their children’s lives, but to set the spiritual foundation for them...

Our kids get most of their information through viral videos and addictive apps like TikTok... As ministry leaders, how do we keep up with that?! Kids today are being fed an influx of ideas leading them in the opposite direction of the Bible, but research shows that if we can help them develop a strong understanding of the Bible by age 13, they're more likely to make a decision to follow Christ and...

Most parents just don't know where to start when it comes to discipling their kids. Sometimes they just need a few good ideas to get going. Shawna from Awana shares proven ideas you can pass on to your families to help them get real traction with at-home discipleship. We know that biblically, parents are responsible for training up their children in the way of the Lord, but most don't do it on a r...

The letter "X" is the western symbol for multiplication. In the Garden, Man is called to be fruitful and multiply. From the beginning of the church, she has grown by multiplication. That happens in the context of community as we disciple others toward becoming more like Christ in all areas of life. Ann Spangler says, "To emphasize salvation and neglect discipleship is to miss the point of why Jesu...

Disciple and disciple...same root/different engagement in your spiritual walk. Often, the meanings of words have been changed many times that they no longer resemble the original root word; so it is with these two words. God's Word is clear about our command to make disciples. He also showed us that discipleship is a long game, and that we must be patient as we disciple others. In order to experie...

Sandy Mason (Director of Regional Representatives for The Bonhoeffer Project ) continues teaching us to examine the real meaning of the Gospel that we find in Scripture

The Word of God clearly specifies the Gospel we are to preach as we make disciples. Sadly, many in today's Church have twisted and distorted the Gospel of Jesus to create a gospel that more adequately fits the need to build the church by "butts, buildings and bucks." In this episode, Sandy Mason (Director of Regional Representatives for The Bonhoeffer Project ) takes us on a journey upstream, back...

What are the ramifications within your church of women being discipled into maturity? We say that we want (need) mature disciples of Jesus within our churches but are we willing to make the sacrifices in our "we've always done it this way" mentality to truly focus on disciple making? Michelle Eagle (Discipleship and Women's Minister at Harpeth Christian Church ) explores how to focus your ministry...

As we step into Scripture, we find Old Testament shadows alluding to New Testament realities and old covenant truths holding up new covenant promises. Whenever a text is cryptic or concealed—whether in the Pentateuch, the Prophets, the Parables, or the Apocalypse, we can look to the neighboring testament for clarity and revelation. These connections across books and testaments expose the overarchi...
