The Law of the Small: Ten Laws for Transformational Discipleship

by Jim Laudell

We were taught to think big instead of thinking small. Measuring nickels and noses, people, and money has taken precedent and discipleship has been lost. Megachurch, multisite, and satellite churches sounded appealing and successful, and we became so – at an extremely high cost. Personality, performance, and popularity were more attractive than one-to-one, face-to-face, mentoring and discipleship.Millennials turned to YouTube, social media, and career associates to develop leadership, direction, and life placement, mixing self-help with Christianity. Second, discipleship takes time and effort. It never, just happens, it is intentional. In the attempts that were made, often, participants were sequestered into a classroom with a hastily prepared subject or spirit incite. As with Sunday morning planning, staffing, and equipping, finding the right time and subject matter was difficult and finding the right people was even more difficult.However, discipleship groups are garnering interest. Creating discipleship opportunities for the developing of millennial with biblical worldviews will become our future. Small groups are trending. Coffee, Bibles, and discipleship groups are the substance lacking in many large groups where people hide.We must think small before we have big actions.The Law of the Small takes the distinctives of discipleship in small bite size pieces for small to medium size churches.
