Bobby Harrington is the founding and lead minister/pastor of Harpeth Christian Church (located by the Harpeth River, just outside Nashville). He has numerous degrees, including a Master of Divinity from Harding University and a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the coeditor of the systematic theology book The Real Life Theology Collection. He has written or cowritten well over twenty books and over three hundred blogs.

Josh Howard has lived in India since 2008 and has a passion to see the Kingdom of God spread throughout the world through raising up disciples who make disciples, leaders who create leaders, and churches that plant churches. In 2015, he launched a ministry called “Ignite,” which has seen over 20,000 churches started in about 8 years through movements of multiplication. Josh currently serves as the Global Mobilization Catalyst for E3 Partners.

In 7 Practices of Disciple Making Churches, Bobby Harrington, Josh Howard, and Mason Eagle reveal “Level 5” churches where multiplication is the culture. Through case studies and clear criteria, they identify seven shared practices and show how to build them into your church’s everyday rhythms—so disciples make disciples, right where you are.
