Get Ready

When I started Transformational Discipleship back in January, I set out to help churches make disciples who love like Jesus. I enjoyed the first season of our journey together as I shared with you what I've been learning as I dig into the work.

I'm getting ready to roll out the next season of newsletters and there are a couple of adjustments I'm making to better help you make disciples

The Good Life: When we invite people into discipleship, we're inviting them into The Good Life. In this cultural moment where people increasingly live without hope, the good news of God's kingdom is life-giving. I'd like to help you better understand this Life as Jesus teaches us about it in The Sermon on the Mount. So each week, I'm going to send you a short email that takes a small piece of Jesus' manifesto and shows you what The Good Life is all about.
The MEMO: How do you make disciples who love like Jesus? The MEMO turns big ideas into concrete actions by giving you the tools you need to help people change and grow. This is a fantastic solution for you if you want a simple way to lead a discipleship movement in your church that saves time, stress and money.

If you're reading this, I'll be sending you the first issue of The Good Life next week. I want to show you why the Good Life matters to the people in your church and community.

If you'd like to join the MEMO Community, you can register here. I'll be sending out the next issue the first week of August.

There's a little more of The Good Life for you.

I'll be back with more next week!

Until then,

But how do you lead well when God doesn't seem to be around to help? Here's the key: leading well depends on who you are more than what you do. Ruth Haley Barton reminds us that discernment isn’t just about making the right decision, but becoming the kind of person who can lead with integrity. In times of uncertainty, we must...

[The Good Life] Hallow Helps The Hollow

☕️ Happy Wednesday morning! To help you love like Jesus, here are 3 ideas from me, 2 quotations from others, and 1 question for you to live into. 3 Ideas From Me 🤓 1) We ask God to "hallow" his name because our understanding and imitation of God rings far too hollow. 2) While discipleship to Jesus can't be reduced to the Our Father, there's hidden wisdom in discipling people to a) pray, b) pray often, c) direct their prayers to a God we know as Father, and d) to ask our Father to "hallow" his...

[The Good Life] Our Father...

☕️ Happy Wednesday morning! To help you love like Jesus, here are 3 ideas from me, 2 quotations from others, and 1 question for you to live into. 3 Ideas From Me 🤓 1) To pray "our Father" is an invitation into reality where God is compassionate, merciful, slow to anger and filled to the brim with a love that never waxes or wanes. 2) By calling God "our Father," Jesus encapsulates the essence of discipleship: we are God's children who share a common life with Him and each other in every...
