Today I want to circle back to a key point. We’re remembering why churches must prioritize training disciple makers, ensuring that each member is both equipped and encouraged to engage in making disciples. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is both incredibly simple and potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to live intentionally and on His mission. It’s very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you’re new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(27:00 – 23:00)** Spiritual Habits - Daily Devotions** - **Key Passage**: Psalm 1:1-3 - 1Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. Highlights the strength and fruitfulness of those who meditate on God’s Word daily. A disciple maker builds a strong foundation on God's Word. - **Building Daily Devotional Habits:** Just as physical food sustains our bodies, daily time in Scripture and prayer nourishes our spirits. Discipline is required, but the rewards are life-giving. - **Practical Tips**: Find a consistent time, place, plan and method that work for you—whether journaling, guided reading, Chapter a day or praying through Scripture. Just do it. **(23:00 – 0:00)* * The Church’s Mission to Train Disciple Makers** - **Defining the Church’s Role in Discipleship**: The church isn't just a gathering place; it’s a training ground. We’re called to move beyond simply teaching about discipleship to actively making disciple-makers. - ##**Key Goals in Disciple-Maker Training**: - **Mature, Self-Feeding Believers**: Equip members to study Scripture and grow spiritually on their own. This is a critical step if they are to teach others. Heb. 5:12 - 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. - **Everyday Missionaries**: Members should be able to share their faith naturally within their own circles—family, workplace, and community. Acts 1:8 - 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” - **Trained Disciple-Makers**: We aim to cultivate disciple-makers, not just attendees, with hearts prepared to replicate the faith. Matt 28:18-20 - 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - **Pastors, Church Leaders, and Missionaries**: As God leads, some will be called to new roles in leadership and church planting, supporting disciple-making movements in other communities. ## The Church needs an Intentional Process - **Engage, Connect, Equip, Release Discipleship Framework**: Revisit the pathway and its critical role in building disciple-makers ready to serve both within the church and beyond. Not THE way, A way. Every church needs to be intentional about carrying out the mission of Jesus. ##**Examples of Disciple-Making in Action**: - **Sunday School Reimagined**: What would a disciple-making approach look like? From intentional mentoring to encouraging members to reach others personally. - **Training and Support from the Church**: Weekly large gatherings are more than services; they’re opportunities for mutual encouragement, skill-building, and strategic equipping. -**Smaller groups provide ongoing accountability and support in life and ministry**:...
