Synopsis

Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An attractional model seeks to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more missional approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making discipleshelping people to trust and follow Jesusis the churchs God-given mandate. Discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ, and devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in them. DiscipleShift walks pastors and church leaders through the five key shifts that churches must make to refocus on that biblical mission. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower believers to be salt and light in their communities.

These are a cut&paste from a word doc that I wrote: DiscipleShift by Jim Putman & Bobby Harrington Chapter 1 The Engine That Drives It All • This chapter gave an introduction on the effectiveness of the church. He then described four main categories of churches based on focus and methodology: o Category......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on June 16, 2014

Over the last season I've read three books that address the same need: how do we put disciple-making at the center of what we do as a church? The first is "The Trellis and the Vine" by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne. I recommend this one for anyone about to begin leading a church and who has the luxu......more

Goodreads review by Adam on April 14, 2025

It’s a good book on discipleship programming and focus in churches, but it has a lot of assumptions in it, too (matter of fact statements about the interpretation of the specific verses and the purpose of churches). The heart of the book is great, and most churches would probably be better if their......more
