When you write there's a temptation to be clever at any cost.""Outlines are a helpful tool if you really want people to grasp and internalize the message.""As a publisher, we don't just have an a la carte approach to the way we publish.""People really do find value in studying the Bible.""Even a non-Christian values common grace kind of wisdom.""Discipleship has become a nebulous term that means different things to different people.""All we are really doing in discipleship is trying to help someone else follow Jesus.""So much Christianity is a learn-by-doing model." "My discipleship is not only the effect of my growth, it is the means of my growth.""If you do just one thing, I guarantee your life will change. Just read the Bible."<br> <br> <br> <br> RECOMMENDED RESOURCES<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://leadership.lifeway.com/podcasts/">Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/growing-down-P005798655">Growing Down</a><a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/growing-down-P005798655"> by Michael Kelley</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/the-shape-of-faith-to-come-P005159304">The Shape of Faith to Come</a><a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/the-shape-of-faith-to-come-P005159304"> by Brad Waggoner</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/transformational-discipleship-P005513261">Transformational Discipleship</a><a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/transformational-discipleship-P005513261"> by Eric Geiger, Michael Kelley, and Philip Nation</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/no-silver-bullets-P005792972">No Silver Bullets</a><a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/no-silver-bullets-P005792972"> by Daniel Im</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://discipleshippathwayassessment.com/">Discipleship Pathway Assessment</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/shop/bible-studies/daily-discipleship-guide?vid=ddg">Daily Discipleship Guide</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://leadership.lifeway.com/podcast-one-thing/">The One Thing Podcast</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This Episode's Sponsor: Feeling unequipped for marriage ministry?
