The word “discipleship” is a buzzword in the church these days. Often we wonder exactly what it means. Perhaps this is the reason so few even “make disciples” anymore. Rather we build the church – as an organization and an institution. At least we know how to do that. Which raises the question, “How would our world be different if we dedicated our time and energy toward making disciples?”

It’s possible that if we did that we would see the church flourish like never before. In fact, that’s what the early believers did, and in a very short time the Church influenced the Roman Empire to the point where it became the dominant religion. Sounds good, doesn’t it? So, let’s then look at what “making disciples” really means and why you can do it.
