God wired your brain for transformation. Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples of every nation,” but a lot of us stop before we start—because we feel like we don’t have what it takes. But Jesus didn’t ask spiritual superstars to make disciples. He invited ordinary people into the adventure of following Him.⁠

Jessie Cruickshank learned how to be a disciplemaker in the wilderness. When she connected her training in outdoor adventure ministry with her Harvard degree in neuroeducation, God showed her a pathway for ordinary disciples of Jesus to experience profound spiritual growth.⁠

Accessible and actionable for parents of children birth to 13 years old, Raising Disciples offers a detailed discipleship map and directional markers to nurture your child’s spiritual growth with Christ.⁠
⁠
During her more than 25 years in children’s ministry alongside her academic work training up children’s ministry leaders, Dr. Teresa Roberts noticed that parents and even children’s ministry leaders seemed to struggle with knowing how to disciple children past the more-intuitive preschool ages. A foundational family and ministry resource, Raising Disciples reflects the developmental needs that will empower children to grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, develop a vocabulary of faith, engage in spiritual practices, and cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God. ⁠

Why do churches need a disciplemaking culture? At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us—a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite.⁠
⁠
Justin Gravitt wrote The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture to help you lay the groundwork for a disciplemaking movement in your church. In this powerful, to-the-point resource, you will learn how to:⁠
- identify and train other disciplemakers who share your passion and vision⁠
- build shared ownership and excitement for making disciples who make disciples⁠
- maintain momentum that spreads from your core team into the community⁠
- re-vision your church culture around the gospel priority of disciplemaking.⁠
⁠
A culture of disciplemaking is built and supported by a disciplemaking foundation. This book will equip you with the tools and strategies you need to take the next step in God’s mission.⁠

New release! What do we call each other? It’s a deceptively simple question, because how we refer to one another is how we understand our relationships.

Not recognizing the power of our words makes it harder for us to trust and serve one another—to love one another. In More than Christians, Norman Hubbard explores how the early church used common words in uncommon ways to make sense of their relationships with God and with one another. His research and contextualization of the cultural background to the New Testament is as practical for today as it is urgent.

Alice Matagora, author of How to Save the World, is featured today on Proverbs 31 Ministries!

As we remain relationally connected and dependent on Jesus — the source of all life and goodness — we flourish and bear fruit that will last. I don’t know about you, but I’m certain the fruit of a life dependent on Christ far surpasses the fruit of our dependence on anything else apart from Him.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness … Yes, I want more of that! But how?

Maybe it’s not as daunting as it seems. Perhaps cultivating a life dependent on Christ is the result of many small dependences.

•Instead of filling my time with mindless scrolling, I can fill my mind with God’s Word and let it dwell in my heart richly (Colossians 3:16).

•Instead of turning to Google for the answers to my questions or crowdsourcing advice, I can seek out the wisdom of Christ (James 1:5-6).

•Instead of reflexively reaching for my phone when I’m bored, I can pray (Colossians 1:9).

•Instead of many brief touchpoints on social media, I can spend time fellowshipping in person with other believers (Hebrews 10:24-25) or connecting with my non-Christian friends.

The new year offers a chance to reflect on the life we’re living and the life we want to live. May we ponder the many small opportunities we have every day to live in intentional dependence on Christ above all else.

What is one thing you can do today to deepen your dependence on God?

Before we were called Christians …⁠
- We called each other brothers and sisters;⁠
- We saw ourselves and one another as saints—set apart by God for God’s purposes;⁠
- We understood ourselves and one another as beloved by God and therefore worthy of love.⁠

These and other names defined us at the very beginning of Jesus’ transforming ministry. Learn more about this new book, and save 30%: https://hubs.la/Q0318nSs0
