Dear Friend/Co-laborer/Other...
I have been asked to speak to 75+ college students who have committed their summer to discipleship training. My time will be next week.
The 2 questions I'm being asked ...
1) What are the top 2 most important qualities in a disciple-maker?
2) What are the 2 most common mistakes you see in disciple-making?
I would love to hear your feedback as I prayerfully prep for this very teachable audience...
Press On!!

I think that Bill has done a great job of helping us recognize two distinct necessities for disciple-makers. (A) there must be a clear understanding of what a disciple of Jesus Christ really looks like (How many of us had to really work to articulate our DDP's?); and, (B) there must be a determined effort/trust in the LORD to genuinely pursue disciple-making over and against that which has become sacred/traditional in the prevailing 'church culture' of our day.
Thus, the two main obstacles to disciple-making are arguably, one's inability to clearly define those characteristics of a true disciple and a lack of trust/commitment to pursue such spiritual growth in a culture that often looks for its spiritual leaders to be "pastors" more than diciple-makers.
I'm thinking of McDowell's (?) "Beyond Belief to Conviction" tagline/book title...
