The speaker delves into the notion of Jesus as a revolutionary figure and the mission of worldwide revolution that he initiated through discipleship. Also discussed are challenges churches face in making true disciples due to truncated gospels and weak definitions. Practical steps to embrace a life with God and truly embody the Great Commission and Great Commandment are shared, with inspiring anecdotes and real-life examples to support the journey toward becoming fully committed followers of Christ.

The speaker begins by highlighting the critical importance of personal discipleship, noting a concerning lack of personal mentoring among church leaders. Reflecting on a seminary lesson, three key insights emerge: the internal transformation is more crucial than external events, our character outweighs our actions, and we cannot give what we do not possess. These principles set the stage for a broader conversation on the state of discipleship and its cultivation within church communities. Critiquing prevalent church practices, the speaker contrasts the self-contained "frog" with the outward-reaching "lizard," lamenting the church's focus on internal programs rather than proactive disciple-making efforts. Central to this critique is the assertion that the type of gospel preached shapes the disciples produced. Misrepresentations of the gospel, such as the "forgiveness-only" or "prosperity" versions, result in incomplete discipleship outcomes. Instead, advocating for a holistic "discipleship gospel" is crucial, centered on following Jesus as the model for life. The speaker portrays Jesus as a revolutionary, initiating transformation from individual hearts to cultural shifts within society through authentic discipleship. Redefining grace as an active catalyst for growth rather than a passive concept becomes integral to this mission. Personal narratives reveal the speaker's own journey, including struggles with pastoral responsibilities and personal trauma, which underscore the critical need for genuine discipleship within the church. Aligning current practices with biblical ideals prompts a renewed focus on fostering discipleship as core to church identity. Practical examples like the "with God life" illustrate the transformative journey of discipleship, urging listeners to reconsider love as an ongoing sacrificial pursuit of God's best for others. The episode culminates with a poignant story emphasizing love as the foundational principle guiding life and mission, echoing Jesus's radical call to transformative love. Overall, "Bonheoffer 4" challenges us to evaluate our personal discipleship journey, the authenticity of the gospel we proclaim, and the transformative power of love in our lives and communities.   Follow us at Discipleship.org!

Cindy opens the episode with a compelling question for the audience: "How do we live in the 'already Not yet'?" This question serves as a thematic anchor, exploring the tension between the Christian belief in salvation already achieved and the ongoing process of transformation and anticipation of the future heavenly reality. She navigates through this theological concept, addressing the challenges many face in navigating life's ambiguities and striving to live faithfully in the present while anticipating the fullness of God's kingdom. During the episode, Cindy reflects on a recent conversation with a tech assistant at a conference, highlighting their mutual appreciation for the collaborative spirit evident at the event.

Cindy draws from Scott McKnight's insights on endurance through suffering as depicted in 1 Peter, foreseeing potential future challenges for the church.

He reflects on how topics like discipleship have evolved from being niche to central in today's conferences, signaling a renewed focus on God's work. Moving on, the speaker introduces his co-speaker, Hollis Half, teasing their catchy session title aimed at drawing in the audience. The conversation shifts to a spiritual tone with a prayer expressing gratitude for knowing God and a commitment to disciple-making. The speaker uses an amusing analogy of 'toads' and 'lizards' to illustrate passive versus proactive approaches in ministry and outreach. Exploring further, he describes 'toads' as those comfortable in their church 'lily pads,' focusing on internal comforts like facilities and attendance. In contrast, 'lizards' represent leaders who actively engage the community, prioritizing outreach and action over comfort. Drawing from personal experiences, the speaker shares how his early ministry's growth led to a shift from active community engagement, when renting spaces, to a more complacent focus on maintaining a permanent church building. He critiques the American church's tendency towards comfort and security, sometimes overshadowing the mission of outreach. Anecdotes illustrate how these mindsets can hinder effective ministry and outreach efforts. Highlighting Jesus's approach to ministry, he emphasizes the need for dynamic, mission-minded leaders—'lizards'—who can spark revival and reach out beyond traditional church boundaries. The talk lightens with personal stories, including encounters with unlikely evangelists and successful outreach movements like Promise Keepers, emphasizing the effectiveness of proactive engagement over internal church activities. The discussion shifts to practical advice from Hollis Half on the urgency and strategy of ministry planning, drawing lessons from his extensive experience. He underscores the importance of intentional planning and strategic thinking inspired by biblical examples like Moses and Nehemiah. In conclusion, the episode encourages churches to foster cultures that prioritize disciple-making and innovate relationally and symbolically to reflect God's strategic approach in their ministry planning.

Dan shares his insights into how discipleship should be viewed not merely as a curriculum but as a culture that requires intentionality and time to foster. He begins by explaining his journey from being a task-driven individual who once believed that having a robust curriculum would be enough for disciple-making. Dan learned that while curriculum is important, it is not the core of discipleship; developing a culture of discipleship within the church is crucial. Drawing inspiration from the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:3-9, Dan emphasizes that the soil represents the culture of the heart and the church. For effective discipleship, the church's culture—like the soil—must be examined, developed, and nurtured to be fertile for growth. He recounts his experience of attending the Disciple Making Forum in 2019 and realizing that a solid curriculum alone would not suffice without a supportive culture. Dan elaborates on the time-consuming nature of building a disciple-making culture, stating that while programs and curriculums might offer quick fixes, they do not address underlying cultural issues. He talks about the four stages of change—panic, adaptation, new normal, and a state where people wouldn't go back—that people and churches undergo during a cultural shift. He highlights practical steps to foster a disciple-making culture, such as defining terms clearly to ensure everyone in the church understands what is meant by discipleship, and living out the change you want to see. Dan stresses the importance of leadership having a kingdom mentality, focusing not on quick success but long-term faithfulness and fruitfulness. Dan also discusses the Bonhoeffer Project's 10-month cohort model, which helps pastors and ministry leaders develop a disciple-making plan by re-examining the gospel, understanding Jesus's methods, and crafting a personalized strategy. This process involves collaboration with other leaders to mitigate pitfalls and share best practices. The program has been broken into three modules to offer flexibility, allowing participants to complete it according to their schedules. Furthermore, Dan advises that not everyone will initially support or stick with the cultural changes. Leaders must be prepared for resistance and attrition but should remain committed to the long-term goals. He encourages leaders to get their congregational leaders and members on board and emphasizes the value of patience and perseverance in cultural transformation. The episode concludes with Dan encouraging pastors and church members to press into the challenge of cultural change and support their leaders, emphasizing that discipleship needs to be a central focus in today's church environment. He stresses the necessity for prayer, support, and affirmation from church members to help leaders feel less isolated and more empowered in their mission. Follow us at Discipleship.org!

In this podcast, Dan Leitz of the Bonhoeffer Project, discusses the changing interpretations of the Gospel and the need for robust, shared definitions of key terms within our church communities. He raises issues around the contemporary Gospel narrative, highlighting the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context of original biblical texts, emphasizing the need for people to see the Gospel as a message given to them, rather than something they themselves can create and tailor to their needs. As churches in today's world, we need to be solid on creating and maintaining a clear, accurate picture of the Gospel message for their congregations.

One of the shifts we are making with the ministry of CEM is to help equip church leaders to be disciple makers. The Bonhoeffer Project offers the perfect platform to help accomplish that goal. In this podcast you will listen to Dan Leitz, President & CEO of The Bonhoeffer Project talk about how Bonhoeffer turns leaders into disciple makers.  Dan Leitz: Dan is the lead pastor at Calvary Chapel Oceanside, in Oceanside California where he has been serving for over 13 years. He has been married to his wife Nicole for 17 years and they have 4 amazing children together - Qorban, Bryden, Elias, and Savanna. Aside from his role as lead pastor and teacher, Dan has a passion to see people trained up to be disciple-making leaders. Dan found his passion for making disciple-makers through his discovery of The Bonhoeffer Project in 2019 when a friend asked him to attend the National Disciple Making Forum. Since this discovery, Dan has dedicated his life to the pursuit of seeing the Great Commission come to fruition in every aspect of his life and ministry.

The Word of God clearly specifies the Gospel we are to preach as we make disciples. Sadly, many in today's Church have twisted and distorted the Gospel of Jesus to create a gospel that more adequately fits the need to build the church by "butts, buildings and bucks." In this episode, Sandy Mason (Director of Regional Representatives for The Bonhoeffer Project) takes us on a journey upstream, back to the headwaters of Scripture to examine the real Gospel of the Kingdom.   We want to say a special thanks to our show's sponsors!   1.

This episode was taken from classroom 2 of the Discipleship.org Collective and it features The Bonhoeffer Project. Cindy Perkins interviews Bill Hull and Dan Leitz about whether discipleship makes a difference. Why bother?

It is now official and there is a recording to prove it. The Bonhoeffer Project is transitioning leaders. Bill is sliding over to bring Dan in. Don't worry, Bill will still be around sharing his wisdom. This episode shows the ceremony that took place at Calvary Chapel Oceanside to officially mark the transition.  

The Bonhoeffer Project took over the episode with Cindy Perkins interviewing Denny Heiberg (mobilizingdisciples.com) and Sandy Mason (check out his books here) about finding genuine joy in making disciples. 

This episode aired in the Auditorium section of the Discipleship.org Collective and featured president and CEO of The Bonhoeffer Project, Bill Hull. The Exec Director of TBP Cindy Perkins interviews Bill about his upcoming book, No Longer A Bystander. Enjoy!

The leadership of The Bonhoeffer Project is changing. Bill takes some time to discuss what this transition looks like, how we got to this point, and where we are going. Dan Lietz continues to introduce himself and the love he has for disciple making.

What does it look like to disciple others for a lifetime? Hollis Haff joins Bill to discuss what his life of disciple making has looked like from being a chaplain in the NFL to the pastor of a local church. He also discusses what he is doing with the Bonhoeffer Project and how it has impacted him.

Since the Gospel we teach and preach determines the disciple we make we must get it right.

What is happening in The Bonhoeffer Project and where are we going? That is the question on the table as Bill, Dan, and Cindy discuss disciple making and The Bonhoeffer Project. There are so many exciting things happening so listen in to see how you can be a part.

Special guest Dr. Denny Heiberg discusses authentic discipleship, the challenges around making disciples,and the centrality of making disciples to the gospel. He notes that who we love is far more important than what we believe.

If we are going to see change then we have to have leaders step up and take their roles. Bill discusses how at The Bonhoeffer Project we help leaders become the disciple makers they were intended to be.

How do we replace cyber culture when we disagree? Bill tells us reason is overrated. We make decisions on our own that may or may not be rational. We rationalize after the fact as we need too. This is pushing us further from the biblical world view. So what can we do about that? Listen in and figure out. Reach out to The Bonhoeffer Project and see how you can join the battle to prevent this from continuing.

This episode is Bill Hulls story of disciple making. Bill and Brandon Cook are the founders of The Bonhoeffer Project. They are devoted to creating disciple makers. Learn more about their project at http://thebonhoefferproject.com/. A few years ago, Bill hull was trying to figure out how to make a lasting impact for disciple making as he moved toward the fourth quarter of his life. He wanted to pass on his message to someone younger who could take on his mantle and carry on his ministry. He serendipitously met a guy named Brandon Cook at an Anglican baptism of all eventsneither of them were Anglican. That was their friendship, from which came The Bonhoeffer Project.
