I’ve spent a lifetime working in churches with a focus on discipleship. Here’s some of what I’ve learned.

I don’t know all that God is teaching me by allowing depression to periodically pounce on me. But I know he’s still faithful and good.

Evangelism is more about being faithful than successful.

In this excerpt from the recently released Family Discipleship That Works, author Brian Dembowczyk reminds readers that—despite current statistics about Christian parents—parents who disciple their children can become a reality.

I want friends to know that Jesus is for them, but maybe not in the way they supposed, for the gospel proves Jesus is more than a good teacher or an example to copy. Instead, the gospel allows us to know the God of the universe because of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection—but it takes courage to explain.

Watching the culture go down such a dark path brings about a great deal of discouragement for believers. Some Christians have given over to despair, while others have embraced a blind optimism that doesn’t take seriously what’s at stake with the current issues.

In this excerpt from the recently released Send, author Jim Essian reminds readers that believers should have an abundance mindset, not a scarcity mindset.

Identifying common misconceptions about evangelism can help us overcome discouragement about our evangelistic attempts.

In this excerpt from the recently released GCD book Finish Line Leadership,  author Dave Kraft reminds readers it’s more loving to have the hard conversation than ignore it.

Gospel-Centered Discipleship is excited to announce the launch of our latest book: Finish Line Leadership: Setting the Pace in Following Jesus by Dave Kraft.

When I was a young girl I had friends who were strange. They talked about church and some guy named Jesus. I’m so thankful they did.

As I think back on all the years and all the conversations that Christians had with me, I don’t remember many of their specific words. But I remember their lives and their love.
