Say No to Discipleship:5 Suggested Shifts for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended
by Jason Dukes
FREE eBook!It sounds crazy, right? Say no to discipleship? But what if the way we have typically done "discipleship" is not the way Jesus intended us to make disciples? If we do need to reconsider or stop doing something, what is it? One thing we know--discipleship done in ways Jesus didn't intend will result in disciples that Jesus didn't intend, e.g., people who make presentations rather than have presence, who follow moralism rather than the Messiah and who measure their spirituality with a mirror rather than in community. In this free resource, Jason C. Dukes offers some context to the assertion that we should say no to discipleship as well as five suggested shifts toward discipling as Jesus intended.
