Making Disciples: Being Like Jesus by Acting Like Jesus

Church leaders spend a lot of time talking about discipleship without actually making disciples. It's no wonder the Church is in decline.

Making Disciples isn't theory, it's a course that gets you into practice, actually making a disciple. You'll be following in the footsteps of Jesus, doing the same sorts of things that he did with the Twelve. If you're ready to stop talking and start taking ground for the Kingdom, then this course is for you.

About the Course

How did Jesus disciple the Twelve? He had three areas of focus: Time, Teaching, and Tactics. Making Disciples is organized around understanding how Jesus did these three things and how you can figure out what they look like for your context.

If you leave out just one of those three areas, you will struggle to make fully formed disciples, but by practicing all three, you'll become a more effective disciple maker. And in this course, you'll get practice.

Logistics: 6:30pm Eastern Time, beginning January 19, 2026 for 8 weeks.
