For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a
one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1
discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while
still others training through mission trips or service projects.
Yet others focus all their efforts on attracting people to a large
group gathering to hear biblical teaching and preaching. But does
one size really fit everyone? Based on careful biblical study and
years of experience making disciples in the local church, Bobby
Harrington and Alex Absalom have identified five key relationships
where discipleship happens in our lives. In each relational context
we need to understand how discipleship occurs and we need to set
appropriate expectations for each context. Discipleship That Fits
shows you the five key ways discipleship occurs. It looks at how
Jesus made disciples and how disciples were formed in the early
church. Each of the contexts is necessary at different times and in
different ways as a person grows toward maturity in Christ: Public
Relationships: The church gathering corporately for worship Social
Relationships: Networks of smaller relationships where we engage in
mission and live out our faith in community Personal Relationships:
Small groups of six to sixteen people where we challenge and
encourage one another on a regular basis Transparent Relationships:
Close relationships of three to four where we share intimate
details of our lives for accountability The Divine Relationship:
Our relationship with Jesus Christ where we grow through the
empowering presence of the Holy Spirit Filled with examples and
stories, Alex and Bobby show you how to develop discipleship
practices in each relational context by sharing how Jesus did it,
how the early church practiced it, and how churches are discipling
people today.
