In this episode of the Real Life Theology podcast, the discussion centers around the implementation of disciple-making movements within and alongside established church structures. The hosts weigh the pros and cons of running parallel disciple-making initiatives either under a single church umbrella or as independent entities. They highlight the importance of aligning church vision with biblical examples and modern pathways, emphasizing swift transition from being found by Christ to becoming a leader. The conversation also covers practical steps for churches to adopt these principles, including training programs and cohorts designed to foster rapid disciple multiplication. The episode underscores the need for a strategic commitment to God's broader vision for community transformation.

Drawing from both biblical and contemporary examples, Josh emphasizes radical prayer and fasting, abundant seed sowing of the gospel, equipping ordinary believers, and relinquishing control for broader kingdom impact. He introduces a parallel track model, where dedicated discipleship pathways run alongside traditional church structures. The session includes insights from Brian King and David Kaufman on practical training methods, case studies of successful implementations, and strategies for church leaders to foster a culture of multiplication. The session concludes with a call for unity and renewed vision for bringing revival and awakening to American churches.

Article 29: The Marks of the True ChurchWe believe that we ought to discerndiligently and very carefully,by the Word of God,what is the true church—for all sects in the world todayclaim for themselves the name of “the church.”We are not speaking here of the company of hypocriteswho are mixed among the good in the churchand who nonetheless are not part of it,even though they are physically there.But we are speaking of distinguishingthe body and fellowship of the true churchfrom all sects that call themselves “the church.”The true church can be recognizedif it has the following marks:The church engages in the pure preachingof the gospel;it makes use of the pure administration of the sacramentsas Christ instituted them;it practices church disciplinefor correcting faults.In short, it governs itselfaccording to the pure Word of God,rejecting all things contrary to itand holding Jesus Christ as the only Head.By these marks one can be assuredof recognizing the true church—and no one ought to be separated from it.As for those who can belong to the church,we can recognize them by the distinguishing marks of Christians:namely by faith,and by their fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness,once they have received the one and only Savior,Jesus Christ.They love the true God and their neighbors,without turning to the right or left,and they crucify the flesh and its works.Though great weakness remains in them,they fight against itby the Spiritall the days of their lives,appealing constantlyto the blood, suffering, death, and obedience of the Lord Jesus,in whom they have forgiveness of their sins,through faith in him.As for the false church,it assigns more authority to itself and its ordinancesthan to the Word of God;it does not want to subject itselfto the yoke of Christ;it does not administer the sacramentsas Christ commanded in his Word;it rather adds to them or subtracts from themas it pleases;it bases itself on humans,more than on Jesus Christ;it persecutes thosewho live holy lives according to the Word of Godand who rebuke it for its faults, greed, and idolatry.These two churchesare easy to recognizeand thus to distinguishfrom each other.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2:2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
