Fully Alive by Disciples Made

11/21/2025

We love seeing disciple-making move beyond a classroom and into real life.

As Gloria Dei in Houston prepares for their upcoming Christmas Store outreach, their team is intentionally weaving the BLESS rhythms from Missionaries Made into the entire experience.

Instead of simply “running an event,” volunteers will step into a disciple-making lifestyle as they:

🔹 Begin in Prayer for every family attending
🔹 Listen with genuine compassion
🔹 Eat and build relationship together
🔹 Serve shoulder-to-shoulder with the people they’re discipling
🔹 Share the Story of how Jesus is moving in their lives

This turns a church program into a training ground for multiplication—a space where Disciple-Makers can bring those they’re discipling to BLESS the community together.

This is what it looks like to move from addition to multiplication.

Gloria Dei—thank you for leading with intentionality. The impact is already growing.

We’re spending the entire day in Kansas City with board members and leaders from across the country — aligning, dreaming, and preparing for what’s ahead.

Every voice in the room carries a piece of the mission.
Every conversation is shaping the future of multiplying Fully Alive disciples.
Every moment today is about stewarding what God has entrusted to us.

We’re celebrating impact… sharpening strategy… and pushing toward a bold 2026 vision with faith-filled expectation.

Grateful for this team. Energized by this mission. Ready for what’s next.

We love celebrating the ripple effects of disciple-making! 🌊

Flourish is seeing powerful clarity and momentum as their team leans into the GPS Assessment and continues to grow in character and calling.

“This is a testimony to the fruitfulness of Disciples Made’s investment in equipping us to live out our passions, gifts, and calling while growing in both character and calling. Each member of our team has taken the GPS assessment, and it’s already bringing remarkable clarity as we see how God is shaping and equipping us to nurture Flourish Communities. I’m deeply grateful for the mentorship and partnership on this journey. God is blessing us, and I truly sense that Flourish is stepping into its next chapter.”
— Wendy McWherter, Catalyst, Flourish Communities

👥 You weren’t made to do this alone.

Living Fully Alive in Jesus isn’t a solo mission—it’s a shared journey. That’s why we keep talking about the 360° Accountability Circle this month.

Who’s in your corner?

✅ Someone ahead of you (a Paul)
✅ Someone beside you (a Barnabas)
✅ Someone you’re pouring into (a Timothy)

As you head into the weekend, take 5 minutes to reflect:
📱 Have you reached out to your circle this week?
🙏 Thanked them? Challenged them? Encouraged them?

Simple text. Big impact.

You don’t have to carry the weight alone—discipleship is a team sport.

👀 Is your discipleship strategy actually working?

Measuring attendance is easy.
Measuring transformation is harder.

That’s why we created the Discipleship Effectiveness Assessment — a free, 5-minute tool designed to help you evaluate the health of your disciple-making strategy across four key areas:

✅ Spiritual Vitality – Are your people becoming more like Jesus?
✅ Missional Engagement – Are they living their God-given calling?
✅ Multiplication – Are disciples making disciples?
✅ Culture & Systems – Does your environment fuel disciple-making?

Your personalized results will give you a clear snapshot of your church’s disciple-making health and your best next step toward cultivating a multiplying movement of Fully Alive disciples.

Today, we honor Juneteenth; a powerful reminder of freedom, justice, and reconciliation. At Disciples Made, we strive for a world that reflects God's kingdom, fully alive in love, unity, and true equality. Let's embrace this day as an opportunity to listen deeply, love boldly, and act courageously toward justice and peace for all.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Galatians 5:1

May our actions today and every day reflect our commitment to becoming fully alive followers of Jesus, who celebrate the freedom and dignity of every person.

If our goal is to equip the saints, that is not an optional outcome. That is required. And if it is not working, then that is a pathway problem.

It's time to evaluate the systems, not just the intentions.

Join Us Live Today at 1pm CT for the Disciples Made Monthly Webinar on Riverside . fm

Church leaders and disciple-makers, you don’t want to miss this vital conversation: Optimizing Assimilation for Disciple-Making.

We’re diving into the differences—and strategic connections—between assimilation and disciple-making pathways. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how these distinct systems can work together to fuel momentum in your church, network, or organization.

Brian Phipps will be hosting, joined by special guest Joe Klassen from Westside Family Church in Leavenworth. Plus, several of our top Disciples Made coaches will be sharing their real-world experience and insights.

This is more than theory. You’ll hear:

- How Westside designed their assimilation pathway

- What Disciple-Multiplication looks like in diverse ministry contexts

- How to move from passive attendance to multiplying leaders

- Why churches must stop viewing assimilation as discipleship—and start leveraging it for disciple-making

You’ll also get a preview of our most exciting fall yet, including the opportunity to join one of our six upcoming Disciple Multiplication Cohorts.

If you’re ready to define and design a yellow brick road that leads people toward becoming Fully Alive disciples, this webinar is for you.

Join us at 1pm CT [LINK IS IN COMMENTS].

See you soon.
