A Blueprint for Discipleship: Wesley’s General Rules as a Guide for Christian Living By Kevin Watson Watson offers a concrete and practical approach to Christian discipleship that is distinctly Wesleyan. His approach builds on the foundation of the General Rules-do no harm, do good, and practice spiritual disciplines-combined with the exercise of small-group accountability. Watson shows that John Wesley’s method of discipleship is both simple and profound, and can help you develop a faith that affects every part of your lives. |

Lost Art of Disciple Making By LeRoy Eims “Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development,” says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn’t there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains:
“True growth takes time and tears and love and patience,” Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church. |

A Model For Making Disciples: John Wesley’s Class Meeting By D. Michael Henderson This book is a study of John Wesley’s small-group ministry and applies his insights to today’s church. The Evangelical Revival that swept England in the mid-1700s rode on the tidal wave of small-group discipleship. John Wesley and his Methodist preachers had weekly meetings where parishioners’ spiritual growth could be monitored and encouraged. Dr. Henderson presents the brilliance of this idea and how such groups would benefit ministry today. Previously published as ISBN 0916035735 John Wesley’s Class Meeting. |

revenue sharing when are you going to talk about revenue sharing?
seriously SFD is about to release a mentoring program that will hopefully pair pastors with one another for the sake of growth spiritually for the individual as well as their ministries. I’m excited about the possibilities be looking for it soon.

I think revenue sharing is covered in the outtakes. Looking forward to hearing more about the mentoring program. Thanks for your vision and leadership!
Good to know you’re thinking about this stuff. I can’t remember where this quote comes from but it’s good: “Plant churches, reap an institution. Plant disciples, reap a church.” I would add “Plant members, reap legalists.” I think the Wesleyan Church is too diverse to have a set in stone disciple process, however, I think if we made making disciples who make disciples who make disciples the priority, then we’d see a real movement of God.
For some reason, I have been thinking a lot about John Wesley lately and wondering if he would even recognize us. More importantly, do the things we tend to get bogged down in break the heart of Jesus. I think change is coming and a movement is building and it won’t be because we changed a few words or took some pages out of the discipline. It will be because the Spirit of God is changing the hearts and lives of men and women who want their lives to count for something that has eternal value.
