Disciple-making Simplicity
Add too many steps and some will never reach the final one. Disciple-making simplicity maintains focus, raises confidence, and makes accountability easier.
Virtual Volunteer Chaplain: An Offer to Serve
In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, fear and frustration are rampant. As a result, chaplains are needed, but ministry may have to look differently.
Movement: Discipleship Evidence

Disciple-Making Goals for the Year Ahead
Where are you headed and how will you get there? Have you prayed? Our Lord has promised to be with us, and He is “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20, ESV). You don’t have to ask what to do. Making disciples…
Order Copies of Discipling and Caring
Two encounters are critical. First, the leader encounters God in His Word and is changed. Second, the leader guides the group to have a life-changing encounter.
