Q&A with Brandon Guindon on Building a Disciple Making Culture
- Churches become disciple-making churches through lived obedience to Jesus’ methods, not merely through sermons, programs, or curriculum.
- Leaders help shape that culture by prioritizing relational investment, creating time for discipleship, and removing practices that distract from the mission.
- Multiplication grows as disciples are raised up, released to disciple others, and trusted to carry the mission forward through the Holy Spirit’s work.
Jesus’ mission for the church is to make disciples who make disciples. But we can’t become a disciple making church just preaching about it or by just going through a small group curriculum on it. Rather, disciple making somehow needs to become the actual culture of our churches. Brandon Guindon, author of the recently released book Disciple Making Culture, talked with Daniel McCoy about how to cultivate a disciple making culture in our churches–a culture which promotes disciple making instead of distracting us from it.
Start with the whole picture: what disciple making is and how to do it.
