Overcoming The MAIN Objection About Disciple-Making

The vast majority of Christians we meet are blatantly disobedient to the Great Commission...they're not making disciples. Not many people know what this looks like or how to do it, and yet... When we bring our structured, tested plan for disciple-making to people, they often push back on us for this main reason. Honestly it doesn't make sense! But we think it has a lot to do with our western cultural mindset and we dive into that in this episode. We'll also give you a couple of practical ways to move into intentional, disciple-making relationships that multiply. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:41 The number one pushback we get to disciple-making 6:51 In violation of the great commission 13:29 The invitation 20:06 Shift in discipleship meaning 27:28 Get a disciple-making movement going --- 🏠 LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES FOR JESUS, IN AND THROUGH YOUR HOME: 1kh.org --- Hi, welcome to the 1000 Houses Podcast!

What if making disciples didn’t require a curriculum? In this episode, Jeremy and April pull back the curtain on their Life on Life discipleship blueprint and reveal why transformation happens best through impartation, not information. From showing someone how you underline your Bible to sharing the family systems that actually work in your home, discipleship is about passing on your real life in Christ. Jeremy shares his simple 5-minute prep method that fuels 90-minute training sessions, while April walks through how she disciples busy moms with practical rhythms and Titus 2 wisdom. This conversation will change the way you think about discipling others - simple, reproducible, and deeply relational. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:54 Why we don’t use curriculum 3:39 How do you actually train without curriculum? 8:04 Prompts to find your catalogue of trainings 12:24 Jeremy’s training example 18:51 April’s approach to discipling stay at home moms 26:33 Low-prep discipleship works --- 🏠 LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES FOR JESUS, IN AND THROUGH YOUR HOME: 1kh.org --- Hi, welcome to the 1000 Houses Podcast!

Jeremy talks to Russ, another dedicated Cincinnati disciple-maker about Russ' approach to making discipleship accessible. Russ gives a live example of how conversations go with the people he's discipling, gives a reminder about how we're to be amongst the lost (not just our Christian friends), how to discern if things are becoming idols, and the power of communities in multiplying disciples.
