One Eighty: A Return to Disciple-Making - Paperback

by Dave Ferguson (Foreword by), Jeff Vanderstelt (Author)

When asked, most churches say that making disciples who make disciples is still their biggest weakness. How can this be if making disciples is the core mission of the Church? One Eighty: A Return to Disciple-Making unpacks five reasons, each of which describes a shift we need to make.

• FROM REACHING TO MAKING: From simply growing the size of our ministry or church, to making mature disciples.
• FROM INFORMING TO EQUIPPING: From simply giving information, to holistically equipping every follower of Jesus.
• FROM ATTENDING TO ATTACHING: From calling people to attend programs and events, to leading people to truly attach to God and others.
• FROM STRIVING TO THRIVING: From unhealthy striving, to thriving as spirit-empowered disciples and emotionally healthy leaders.
• FROM ACCUMULATING TO DEPLOYING: From merely accumulating people into our buildings and programs, to deploying disciple-making disciples to the ends of the earth.

Building on biblical foundations for who we are as disciples of Jesus and his Church, One Eighty: A Return to Disciple-Making both inspires and equips. With practical teaching and guided processing questions, you and your team will be able to develop your own working plan. This book is for anyone who wants to get back to what Jesus saved and called us to be and do.
