Counter Intuitive Discipleship Values...

  • Go slow to go fast!

  • Outsiders raise up insiders - an inexperienced insider is more effective than a highly trained outsider.

  • Focus on a few to reach many.

  • Self-discovery learning in the Word is more powerful than instruction learning.

  • Disciple people to conversion - don't wait to convert them before discipleship begins.

  • Dream big but build small.

  • Group memory is greater than each individuals memory of what is learned -  discipleship happens best in groups rather than as individuals.

  • Obedience is more important than knowledge.

  • Give 80% of your discipling attention to 20% of your most focused and effective disciple makers.

  • Start with creation then move to Christ - through the God story.

  • Raise up leaders before they are ready - start with the torch in their hand, don't pass it to them later.

  • Start small groups among existing social groups.

  • Don't grow bigger groups, multiply more groups.

  • Spend a long time discipling people but expect miraculous breakthroughs and acceleration!
