Episode 278 - Developing Fully Formed Followers of Jesus with Dan Den Boer

What is the process of making disciples? How do we form people into the image of Jesus, and develop the heart of Christ in them?

I hope it doesn't have to involve a huge time investment from me as a pastor - I'm short on that. Also, I hope I can scale the process... like if I write ten discipleship lessons, and then let people download them and work through all ten?! Then, maybe then they can be more like Jesus?

Sometimes we think if they just know the right stuff, or if they can memorize, word for word, large passages of the Bible, while at the same time stringing a lot of days together of consistent Bible reading and prayer - that's all got to help, right?

What exactly is the process of making disciples? There has to be an efficient, effective formula that will get the job done!

So, that's what Jonny and Dan Den Boer talk about in this episode. Dan serves at Northwestern College and focuses on the spiritual formation of the next generation, and he knows a little about that work in the church as well.

This episode will get you thinking on multiple levels, and for sure get your discipleship juices flowing!

Enjoy!
