The biggest step of growth I have seen in people of faith is the one where they go from being a disciple to a disciple-maker.

A disciple is a person who continually learns. Their primary question is about how they need to grow and what they need to know. It is a natural step in the development of every believer.

That is where most people stop growing. They become a reservoir that is continually pouring in rivers of knowledge.

One of the most significant challenges is getting a person to become a disciple-maker. Their primary concern is about how to teach someone else. They want to see other people grow in their faith. They become a life-giving river that impacts the whole region.

There are two phases of adult life: before and after you have children. Like that, there are two phases of a disciple’s life; before and after you become a disciple-maker.

Caring for someone else will force you to grow and change in unexpected ways.
