Are You Innovating Your Way Out of Disciple-Making Success?

About this episode

Mark and Dave discuss how a production mindset can distort the true definition of success in disciple-making according to Jesus.

What if your biggest disciple-making problem is not failure, but aiming at "success" and getting something different than how Jesus defines it? In this episode, Mark and Dave unpack why a production mindset can quietly turn people into projects and push us to “innovate our way out of success.” They show how Jesus defines success through time, transformation, relationship, and reproduced lifestyle, not quick outputs. This matters because if you define success wrong, you may eventually get exactly what you asked for and realize it is not the kingdom fruit you wanted.
