Key Takeaways

1) It is glaringly apparent that most churches don’t have a strategic discipleship pathway with clearly defined outcomes and objectives.

2) Matt served many years as a lead pastor in Athens, Georgia. That foundation helped him to realize his desire to see every church become great at disciple-making.

3) Although many churches have people who are chronologically elders in age, most have discovered that many of these folks were never discipled. Therefore, they still carried the trauma and pain from experiences decades ago.

4) One of our most important desires should be to help people “know Jesus” and then to help “others to know Him,” too. Unfortunately, far too many church leaders view discipleship as an “optional” ministry focus that gets buried in a long list of other priorities.
