Episode 31: Proactive Disciple Making: Guide Phase

 

The third component of the Proactive Disciple Making strategy is Guiding. I feel it is the most important part of the process. Because let’s face it, when faced with a little adversity or difficulty, we humans are wired to quit and go in another direction, usually backwards.

Disciple Making Guides in the proactive strategy are relationship builders, first and foremost. That is why I so confidently stated that you don’t have to be a Biblical scholar to guide others on their spiritual journey.

Guides are supportive and encouraging, committed to assisting disciples find their path and move forward on their journey. Listen to this episode to find out what makes guides the backbone of this strategy…

Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to this chariot and join it.” 30 So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 He replied, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
— Acts 8:29-31 NRSVU
