STOP BELIEVING THESE DISCIPLESHIP MYTHS. ❌ Myth #1: Every individual Christian must be able to make another disciple ✅ Truth: The whole church is involved in disciple-making. It takes a "body." It's not about "disciples who make disciples" (as if it's up to each individual). It's about disciples who play their part in making disciples. ❌ Myth #2: Your church needs a step-by-step pathway for making disciples ✅ Truth: Most people don't grow in a linear way. And many people have worked through the "steps" or "pathway" and are still pretty spiritually immature. It's not about a step-by-step plan. It's about a vision, framework, and ecosystem that allows disciples to grow over time. ❌ Myth #3: If we get people in small groups, they will grow as disciples ✅ Truth: Small groups are an extremely valuable piece of the discipleship ecosystem. But they are not a silver bullet. ❌ Myth #4: Our church needs a Discipleship ministry ✅ Truth: Your church IS a Discipleship ministry. The whole church with the whole gospel making whole disciples. If there's something your church is doing that doesn't contribute to that mission, it's worth revisiting. ❌ Myth #5: Discipleship is overwhelming ✅ Truth: It only feels overwhelming because you've likely not figured out how to explain it in a simple way that people can engage with.
