But sometimes we confuse the culture of discipleship with the micro tools of disciple making, so we end up calling everything discipleship.” – David Putman<br> <br> <br> <br> “The Kingdom of God grows by multiplication, not by addition.” – David Putman<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> RECOMMENDED RESOURCES<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Contagious-Disciple-Making-Leading-Discovery/dp/0529112205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=90XOGHFU12FO&keywords=david+and+paul+watson&qid=1682052258&sprefix=david+and+paul+watson%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1">Contagious Disciple Making: Leading Others on a Journey of Discovery by David Watson and Paul Watson</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/breaking-the-discipleship-code-P005222569">Breaking The Discipleship Code: Becoming a Missional Follower of Jesus by David Putman</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Disciple-Life-Micro-Group-Disciples-ebook/dp/B08R95TKLY/ref=sr_1_2?crid=20BQXA92TS4YN&keywords=Gospel+Disciple+Life+David+Putman&qid=1682053010&sprefix=gospel+disciple+life+david+putman%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-2">The Gospel Disciple Life: A Micro-Group Strategy for Making Disciples that Make Disciples by David Putman</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Multipliers-Revised-Updated-Leaders-Everyone/dp/0062663070/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3K23CV9QQROMW&keywords=multipliers&qid=1682053091&sprefix=multipliers%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1">Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wiseman</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://auxano.com/">Auxano | Get A Visionary Plan For Real Church Growth</a><br>
