For most of us, the idea of our kids switching from blue to red, or vice versa, is pretty scary and maybe unacceptable. I think what we want to do is seek to help our kids grow political literacy, equipping our children to make considered, rational choices from a place of integrity and the gospel, regardless of whether they adopt our specific political party and beliefs."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Get started here…From this episode:“Our calling to make disciples among a specific group of people requires us to be present with them. Just like Jesus came to us as a human, and took on the rhythms and customs of the people he was with, so must we give our lives, not just our programs, to that God calls us to. Making disciples is an all-of-life engagement that ultimately radically reorients our time and resources for God’s glory.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Do our current evangelism and discipleship models fall short of producing genuine followers of Jesus?This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we explore the importance of reclaiming a strong understanding of the gospel and the vital link between conversion and discipleship. Joining us is Bill Hull, a "discipleship evangelist" (a term I adore!) and author of several bestselling discipleship classics.In This Episode You’ll Learn: A historical definition of “conversion” that you’ll find clarifying. Why conversion and discipleship are two sides of the same coin. The problems the Church experiences having split (or ignored) these two functions. Why having a bigger view of the gospel is the solution to this problem.
Get started here...From this episode:“You’ll never make a disciple from a non-discipleship gospel. A gospel that does not include disciples making disciples, and all true Christians are disciples of Jesus, is actually a very truncated gospel and not really the gospel Jesus proclaimed and preached.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
