Week 1: Introduction — We Were Made for This

1.Chan opens with a striking admission: most Christians today would not know how to make a disciple if someone asked them. Does that description resonate with your experience? Why or why not?

2.Jesus's command in Matthew 28 is to 'go and make disciples' — not merely converts, attenders, or church members. What is the difference between a convert and a disciple, in your own words?

3.Chan argues that discipleship is not a program the church offers but the normal, expected life of every follower of Jesus. How does that challenge the way your church or community currently operates?

4.Think about the people who have most shaped your faith. Were they making disciples of you intentionally, or did it happen in a less formal way? What made their influence effective?

5.The title Multiply points to the idea that disciples reproduce — one becomes two, two become four. Where do you see this multiplication principle in Jesus's own ministry strategy?

6.Chan writes that this book is not meant to sit on a shelf but to be passed on to someone else. Who is one person in your life right now whom you could imagine walking through this material with?

7.How does the promise Jesus makes in Matthew 4:19 — 'I will make you fishers of men' — reframe disciple-making from a burdensome obligation to something God himself equips us for?
