Summary In this episode of the FutureChurch podcast, Anthony Delaney engages with Mattias Demaerel, who shares his transformative journey in disciple making. They discuss the inception of a disciple making movement, the structure and impact of the Recruits program, and the importance of relationships in discipleship. Mattias emphasizes the need for a multiplication mindset over a growth mindset, highlighting the significance of finding 'persons of peace' for effective evangelism. The conversation also touches on the Kingdom of God, the role of signs and wonders, and the relational nature of discipleship.   Takeaways Disciple making can start accidentally through genuine relationships. Personal transformation is crucial for effective discipleship. A disciple making movement requires a multiplication mindset. Finding a 'person of peace' is essential for evangelism. Discipleship is highly relational and cannot be done in isolation. The Kingdom of God should be central to our mission. Multiplication requires sacrifice and commitment.
