The goal is not just individual discipleship but communities of believers that are structured, ordered, and motivated to multiply — this session shows what that looks like.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Paul's goal in Colossians 1:28–29 is to 'present everyone mature in Christ.' Chan draws on this to argue that maturity — not attendance or programming — should be the measure of a church's success. How would your church measure up by that standard?
2.Chan distinguishes between a church that has a discipleship program and a church that is a discipleship culture. What is the difference, and which do you think is harder to build?
3.Acts 6 shows the early church adapting its structure so that the apostles could focus on prayer and the Word. What does that teach us about the relationship between organization, leadership, and disciple-making?
