Is it time to acknowledge that our traditional way of providing discipleship, in most cases, is not providing clear results? When it comes to your discipleship process, do you have a clearly defined goal you are shooting for that would allow you to evaluate your effectiveness? If the answer to these questions is no, you will enjoy today’s 95Podcast with Spiritual Formation Pastor Matt Adair.
Dale and Matt discuss practical ways you can use to determine your discipleship effectiveness. For Matt, one of the key outcomes of effective discipleship is to love your enemies. Today’s podcast is filled with great wisdom and guidance for anyone looking to create transformational discipleship throughout their ministry.

Key Takeaways
1) We need to determine ways to evaluate our discipleship effectiveness. Therefore, it’s imperative that we document clear outcomes we desire to reach through our discipleship process.
2) It’s not a stretch to say that Jesus modeled for us one of the key priorities of effective discipleship: love our enemies.
3) At its core, discipleship is about mentoring and developing relationships.
4) Every leader in the church today has got to learn how to become confident in leading their ministry into areas that they’ve never been before. This will be necessary as we lead the church forward in today’s post-pandemic culture.
