In this webinar episode, Bill Hull and Ben Sobels dive into what they call the "discipleship In this episode, Bobby Harrington from Discipleship.org chats with Alex Absalom about missional discipleship, focusing on his experiences and methods for making disciples in both traditional and home church settings.
Bobby kicks things off by introducing Discipleship.org and its mission to champion Jesus-style disciple-making globally, bringing together top voices to promote this practice.
Alex Absalom shares his extensive background in church leadership, starting in England where he creatively combined smaller and larger churches and engaged with the community. He stresses the importance of reaching out rather than waiting for people to come to church.
The discussion then shifts to Alex's U.S. experiences, including his work with Rivertree in Ohio and later with home churches in Long Beach, California. He explains their focus on planting networks of home churches that reflect the kingdom of God in everyday life.
Bobby and Alex dive into the structure of home churches, which often include shared meals, creative worship, and Discovery Bible Studies. Alex emphasizes the model's focus on creating a welcoming environment where people can belong before they have to believe or behave, facilitating deeper relational connections.
Alex outlines their approach to discipleship, mission, and being naturally supernatural. He describes how they integrate these elements to allow the Holy Spirit to guide their efforts and avoid mere striving.
The conversation covers practical aspects of integrating supernatural elements, with Alex sharing stories of how simple prayers for healing have impacted non-believers and opened doors for deeper spiritual conversations.
They also discuss the role of service in missional communities, highlighting the importance of tangible acts of service, such as partnering with local schools or homeless shelters, to bless the community and shape participants' hearts toward Christ.
Alex explains their strategy for multiplying home churches by casting a vision for growth, raising apprentices, and setting annual multiplication goals. He also addresses challenges, noting the importance of a values-based system to guide decision-making and maintain group health.
Finally, they touch on fostering a culture of generosity within home churches, including practical details like tithing and financial support.

    If a person loves God and what He has done, then that love shows in the persons desire to please the Father even more than themselves. That has nothing to do with salvation and everything to do with (Matthew 6:20) _"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."_ (Like muscle memory, that life practice will become automatic once practiced). *How do we get into that mind set?* _"But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."_ *But who will tell me about the Kingdom of God?* _"I will send you the Helper from the Father. The Helper is _*_the Spirit of truth_*_ who comes from the Father..."_ *So how do we get in touch with "the Spirit of truth (Holy Ghost/comforter/Holy spirit)"?* (John 3:3) Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (Remember what God said about Tradition... Also known as religion... He was not impressed) *Finally;* (Matthew 12:34); ..."For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Peace!

    Works are the desire of God’s heart that are the living out of our faith. Many people do good works out of a sense of obligation or compassion, but not as acts motivated by their love for God and faith in Christ. Sympathy for the people who are suffering from lack, infirmity, or circumstance without stepping into that situation by faith is just pity while remaining self-centered. It’s called sacrifice. God wants us to be the ambassadors of Christ in the world. That means we must demonstrate our faith by how we relate to others. We must earnestly pray that we may be conformed to the image of Jesus, now and forever. James doesn’t suggest that works will save us, but he is pretty emphatic that true faith will produce sacrificial efforts for the sake of others.

    What I find interesting about this topic is the focus on women discipling others (the younger) which I fully agree with but for me all of my matriarchs and older wise women in my life have gone on to glory. It’s been difficult to find a “replacement or replacements” if you will while I pour into others. I also know a lot of this is dependent on the demographics in your local body of believers, your physical location in the country etc.. but I truly miss those women and wish for more of that in my own life.❤

    I don't understand why these leaders are so obsessed with KP. In India most Christians consider him a conman who amassed unaccountable wealth from the USA. He might have begun well but the later part of his ministry where he changed his denomination and took on the title of a bishop was all to cover up his unaccountable massive wealth.

    The truth of God will always be offensive, you cannot make it inoffensive, that depends on the Spirit of God working in the other individual. Like Bill said, "converts come out of conflict"; His truth spoken and shared incites conflict, but brings converts.

    In a 2023 Barna study it revealed 70% of Americans call themself Christian 4% of that 70 actually have a Biblical worldview and live accordingly. This means 66% of the professed are only fooling themselves. The hyper grace message has made a lot of 'converts' without real transformation or real discipleship. Go and make disciples, not converts. So in that, the Christian institution doesn't even adhere to historical, Biblical faith. We all must test everything including ourselves to see if we are IN the faith according to the Bible, willing to lay aside traditions of men. We will be judged by deed, not creed.

  • @RealDefinitionsMatter
    @RealDefinitionsMatter 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Are they leaving the faith (denouncing Yeshua) or just leaving the erroneous doctrines of Christianity that don't align with the Bible, but rather are traditions (which are a lot)? This would have to be determined with each individual. If you aren't allowed to challenge the popular consensus the reformation should never have happened, let alone Christianity in general.
