Making Disciples Conference
With J. Lee Grady
Making Disciples Conference
August 6, 2022 • John 13:34–35
John 13: 34-35 is the starting point in Session 1 of The Roads Church Making Disciples Conference, as J. Lee Grady defines "relational discipleship" that flows out of our lives organically, and is not about a church program. Church we need one another! We have been trained to be "loners," and we've become isolated. The Christian life is about relationships. It's important to lay the relational foundation of discipleship that is contrary to both our world culture and our church culture.

Lee Grady gets us all on the same page in Session 2, starting out with defining discipleship as "The process God uses to bring Christians to maturity so they reflect His character and reproduce other disciples. Jesus said, "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." (Jn 15:8) You are not a disciple, if you are not producing disciples. Are you a disciple?

You all had questions, and Lee Grady spent about 30 minutes answering some of them, like: Can I disciple 1-on-1, or multiple people at a time, as in a discipleship class? How would you approach finding a spiritual mentor? What's the first thing you do when you start mentoring someone? Making disciples was the ministry of Jesus, and it is every believer’s commission. The Roads Church leadership believes that it’s time to be equipped and empowered as the body of Christ to step into the fullness of “making disciples,” and connecting people with Jesus from all roads of life.
