Description

Imagine having two pairs of animals—a pair of rabbits and a pair of elephants. Both male and female. After 36 months, you'll have three elephants due to their lengthy gestation period. However, during the same period, the rabbit population would multiply into the millions. The contrast lies in the reproductive nature of rabbits, which is rapid, while elephants take a significantly longer time to reproduce.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Dan Grider delve into the implications of the Church adopting a rabbit colony mentality versus a Trojan elephant approach. This insightful discussion carries significant implications for all of us.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Whether your church is a "rabbit colony" or a "Trojan elephant".
Which model Jesus initiated for disciple-making.
Why many 'micro-churches' still function with elephant DNA.
How relationships of trust are built that lead to new disciples.

From this episode:

“I think one of the challenges the American church is dealing with is a lot of churches have elephant DNA regardless of their size. I've seen organic, missional communities that meet in a microbrewery, and they're smoking cigars, and they're talking about Jesus, but they still have much more of an elephant DNA than they really realize.”
