Did Jesus intend churches to use programs to make disciples? Then, why did Jesus invite his followers to be "with him" 24/7? Why not be like the Rabbis and just teach them a class each week? Notice how in being in each other's space, Jesus used real life situations to stretch their thinking, expose their hard heartedness, encourage compassion, and grow them into world-changers. In doing life on life with Jesus, they found out what it meant to be loved and to love, to be cared for and to care, and to be empowered for service. If Jesus commanded disciple-making, then he left a model to follow. Through his model as found in the Gospels, he invites us into a relational, though messy, down to earth, life on life, process of disciple-making accomplished through Christ's love and the power of the Holy Spirit.
