Disciple Making Quotes

“The road that leads to heaven is risky, lonely, and costly in this world, and few are willing to pay the price. Following Jesus involves losing your life-and finding new life in him. Follow Me, pg. 11”
― David Platt

“We've taken the lifeblood out of Christianity and put Kool-Aid in its place so that it tastes better to the crowds, and the consequences are catastrophic. ~Follow Me, pg. 7”
― David Platt

“The church is filled with people who think they are participating in the mission while binge-watching from the sidelines and criticizing how others are making disciples.”

“From our experience, if you want to make disciples, if you want to build a discipling culture in your community, you are going to need three things: 1.  A discipleship vehicle (I call it a Huddle) 2.  People need access to your life (the texture of Family on Mission) 3.  A discipling language (the discipling language I use is called LifeShapes)”
― Mike Breen, Building a Discipling Culture

“Huddles work because they expose people to the learning of a group rather than only one-on-one mentoring. What a member gets to see is not only how the leader is discipling them, but also how the leader is discipling other people as well. Because each person is different, different skills and practices are needed to disciple various personality types.”
― Mike Breen, Building a Discipling Culture

“Our kids need spiritual mentors, and if a new language and posture will lead them, then we better hit our knees, pray for humility, and beg God to help us raise disciples that love Him beyond our homes. We prioritize transformation over methodology, because our rules have a shelf life but loyalty to Jesus does not. Let's keep the baby and change the bathwater.”
― Jen Hatmaker, For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

“Both Jesus and Paul practiced form following function. The biblical function of the mission, multiplicative disciple-making, provided the direction and the form of the churches that followed.

The seemed to know that if you make disciple-making disciples, the result is always a biblically functioning community--Jesus' church.”
― Roy Moran, Spent Matches: Igniting the Signal Fire for the Spiritually Dissatisfied

“The church is a movement of people, not an organization that lives in a box on the corner.”
― Roy Moran, Spent Matches: Igniting the Signal Fire for the Spiritually Dissatisfied
