A REMINDER: FREE Live Webcast : 25 Leaders on How We Can Be Better at Disciple Making

If you can’t make it to the upcoming Exponential 2013 church planting conference April 22-25, or if you’re coming but leaving team or family members at home, the folks at Exponential have made the conference available to basically anyone in the world who has Internet access via a high-quality webcast–FREE to anyone who registers.

This year, Exponential is talking about Jesus’ Great Commission to His disciples, specifically five key shifts we can make to be better at making and releasing disciples. As you know, discipleship has been a major focus at LifeWay Research, as we released findings from theTransformational Discipleship study throughout 2012 and early 2013. Our research revealed a discipleship deficiency in U.S. churches–large numbers of people who claim Christianity, who even regularly attend church, but whose lives show little to no evidence of transformation.

I’ve been encouraged to see an increasing number of organizations and churches talking about discipleship and the changes churches need to make. At the upcoming conference in Orlando, I and several others from our team will be there talking about discipleship and what we’ve learned from our research. On Tuesday, April 23, from 3 to 4 pm (EDT), I’ll be on site interviewing Francis Chan and Robert Coleman for my weekly webcast, The Exchange. Along with David Platt, Francis is leading a national discipleship movement, and Robert Coleman has written watershed books like The Master Plan of Evangelism and The Master Plan of Discipleship that have been read and used by tens of thousands of church leaders worldwide.Anyone who registers for free can watch the session as well as nine others featuring 25 national leaders all talking about discipleship.
