Episode 27: Becoming a Discipleship Focused Church!
Today’s episode is a conversation I had recently with a former client of mine that is making a major paradigm shift in her church. Kristen Clark-Banks is the Senior Pastor of Forest Hills UMC in Brentwood, TN, a suburb of Nashville. She and I, along with her Director of Discipleship, Sarah Wheatly talk about shifting from a membership driven church to a discipleship focused church.
Kristen, Sarah, and myself talk about what their culture looks like now, overcoming obstacles along the way, and what it means to intentionally make disciples in today’s church. I am excited to introduce our audience to these forward thinking and courageous followers of Jesus Christ.
“We want to be a missional church... laser focused on the WHY that the church exists. What does Jesus invite us to focus on and let’s focus our resources on that thing.”
