New Research Reveals a Massive Discipleship Gap in the American Church
About this episode
Jonathan Morrow discusses a significant discipleship gap in the American church based on recent research findings and offers insights on effective discipleship practices.
Jonathan Morrow of Impact 360 Institute explores recent Lifeway Research findings showing only 11% of U.S. Protestant pastors strongly agree discipleship is their church's strongest function, and unpacks a clear, biblical definition of discipleship built around five marks: thinking like Jesus, being transformed by Jesus, sharing Jesus, living out one's calling with Jesus, and multiplying disciples like Jesus. He also introduces Impact 360's Ministry Leader Collective as a resource for pastors and youth leaders who want a concrete plan for making disciples of Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
