"It is the nature of a disciple to make more disciples. They can't help themselves--this is who they are." -
David Watson
Jesus was a disciplemaker. He started a disciplemaking movement. He not only made disciples, but He sent His disciples to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20).
In the 21st Century, the practices of being a disciple and making disciples aren't intuitive to Christians. Yet it should be the most basic missional activity for all believers.
Jesus expects His followers to help others to follow Him.

When put like this, it seems like such a simple, easy process and why shouldn't it be? If we call ourselves followers of Jesus, then we should be doing what He did, and He made disciples.
I loved when you brought this to the table today Dave and it is great to hear it twice and I feel that you explain it is such an affective way
when put like this, it seems so simple. we really do just have to go out and do this. it's extremely important to after you see the discipleship come into effect, that you do follow up, keep eachother accountable, be in prayer together, do things together, making more disciples together, just as Jesus has called us to do.
I love how you explain this, you put it in a way that makes us see that it's really not as hard as we think it is!
It is nice to have a tangible example to relate to. I love when people I'm discipleing reach the stage to teach others. It allows me to see how great our God really is.
