Synopsis

Everyone is being discipled. The question is: what is discipling us? The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples. But the church is not a secondary platform in the mission of God; it is the primary platform God uses to grow people into the image of Jesus. Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples.  There are three indispensable elements of discipleship: Learning to participate in the biblical story (the Bible) Growing in our confession of who God is and who we are (theology) Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines)   Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

Loved this book and will be using it as a resource! It’s both spiritually and practically helpful! I’m challenged to start thinking deeper (see what I did there) about what it means to raise up disciples who have a deep love for God and His people! A note about this book, it’s more of a book that le......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on February 23, 2024

I just 'yes-and-amen'ed my way through this whole thing. A strategic approach to recovering learning environments in the church that will develop Christians and send them out on mission in their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods and churches? Yes, yes, yes.......more

Goodreads review by Caleb Batchelor on March 11, 2021

A little too programmatic for my discipleship tastebuds. Love the recovery of classes in the church's discipling ministry, but I don't like the weight placed on them. Not much talk about church members asking other church members to read the Bible or other good books with them. Not much discussion a......more
