About this audiobook
Rediscover the intentional disciple making methods of Jesus Christ.
Today, churches and their leaders relentlessly pursue innovation of the next new idea that will somehow capture the attention of the spiritually lost, yet very few Christians know how to walk out a day-to-day lifestyle of intentional disciple making.
Drawing from decades of experience making disciples, pastor Brandon Guindon will show you how Jesus' call to "Go and Make Disciples" can become more than just a vague church slogan when we relearn the discipleship methods that Jesus modeled for us.
Intentional introduces eight principles of disciple making, exposing their gospel roots and practical nature—principles such as:
- Listening with the genuine intent to understand different voices and experiences.
- Looking for and developing the potential in others.
- Knowing when to firmly speak the truth and when to allow yourself to be interrupted.
- Living a lifestyle of discipleship yourself.
Jesus Christ intentionally discipled twelve people every day for three and a half years and then commanded us to go and make disciples as well. And he empowered us by sending us the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide us. The early church thrived and expanded by imitating the intentional relational methods Jesus modeled, yet somewhere along the way we lost sight of the simple truth that Jesus' methods of disciple making are as holy as his message.
It's time relearn those methods, examine the obstacles in our lives that prevent us from imitating the ancient ways of Christ, and approach all our relationships differently—making disciples in Jesus' name and growing spiritually in the process.
Activities and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
