John’s March Message: What’s Holding You Back?

Mar 31 2023 John’s March Message: What’s Holding You Back?

I am so fired up about the men I’m discipling right now! These men are in different age ranges and life stages and yet they share an incredible passion for making disciples who make disciples. These guys are excited to get after it and it’s amazing to witness.
If you haven’t discipled someone, what’s holding you back?
A man said to me one time, “I can’t disciple anyone.” I asked him, “Can you read?!” He said, “YES, I can read!”

 

So, I gave him a copy of The Four Priorities and told him to start reading it and then talk about what he read with someone else.

 

Several months later, I ran into this gentleman and he had two friends with him. He introduced me and said, “These are the two men I am discipling so that they can disciple someone else. This disciple-making experience has changed my life.”

What is Jesus’ plan to change our world?
It’s found in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples…”

 

So, why aren’t we doing it?

 

My experience has been that:

1) Most Christians don’t understand what Matthew 28:19 means.

2) Most Christians have never been discipled by someone else.

 

 

Where are the people you discipled picture

 

Matthew 28:19 is a command by Jesus to all believers. When you get to heaven, how will you respond when Jesus asks you — “Who are the people you discipled?”

 

Even if you’ve never been discipled by someone else, you can still become a disciple-maker. We have the most practical, effective, easy tool on the planet available for you in The Four Priorities. Just like I told my friend, if you can read, you can become a disciple-maker!
