Send us a textStep into the rich soil of discipleship as we explore the profound connections between farming and the Great Commission with Curtis Sergeant, a discipleship multiplication expert whose methods have catalyzed movements resulting in millions of believers and churches worldwide.Curtis shares his remarkable journey from an unreached island in China to establishing a training center that has equipped disciple-makers in 174 countries. The key? A simple, reproducible approach that mirrors agricultural principles—where multiplication is the natural outcome of healthy growth.For those called to agriculture, this conversation reveals that your vocation isn't separate from discipleship but divinely designed for it. Genesis shows us that tending the earth was God's original intention for humanity before the Fall. Every agricultural principle—sowing and reaping, pruning for growth, patience in waiting for harvest, dependence on God for rain—parallels spiritual truths that make the gospel tangible and visible.The "three-thirds process" Curtis teaches focuses on obedience rather than mere knowledge, equipping believers to spiritually self-feed, foster authentic community, and pass these skills to others through a training cycle of modeling, assisting, watching, and leaving. This approach has proven effective across cultures and contexts.Whether you're a professional farmer, homesteader, or backyard gardener, your agricultural calling provides unique opportunities to demonstrate the gospel holistically by addressing our broken relationships with God, self, others, and creation. As you steward the land, you're positioned to steward souls as well, participating in both temporal and eternal harvests.Ready to see your farm or garden become fertile ground for discipleship? Discover practical tools and approaches that will help you integrate the Great Commission into your agricultural calling. The fields truly are white for harvest—in more ways than one.Key Take-aways:• Discipleship means teaching obedience to Christ's commands, not just sharing information• The "three-thirds process" focuses on accountability, hearing from God, and application• Agriculture is a divine calling established before the Fall, not just a profession• Farming provides natural illustrations of spiritual principles like sowing, reaping, and patience• Effective disciple-making requires multiplication, just as seeds produce abundant harvests• Sharing the gospel with farmers can begin with the Garden of Eden narrative• Agricultural stewardship helps restore our broken relationship with creation• Simple tools like Zume training and The Only One book can equip anyone to make disciplesCheck out Curtis's resources at TheOnlyOneBook.com, Zume.training, and ObeyGC2.com to learn more about multiplying discipleship in your context.To access the after-show join Redeeming the Dirt Academy! www.redeemingthedirtacademy.com Support the show
In this episode, Cynthia talks with Curtis about the challenges faced in collaborating and the need to work with people and organizations both similar to, and different from, ourselves and our own organizations. They discuss the different levels on which collaboration can be done, for instance on the level of coordination of locations or on the level of best practices, etc with the goal of seeing multiplication of God's Kingdom work going forward.
In this Episode Curtis, a co-facilitator of 24:14, talks with Cynthia about the need for clarity in the goal of multiplication and the need for a DNA of transformation and quality discipleship that will lead to generations of quality disciples. They also talked about the biblical basis for unity in collaboration from Jesus priestly prayer.

In episode three of season two, the guys interview Curtis Sergeant, leader of a ministry in Alabama—called MetaCamp—founded on making disciples and sending them out into their local communities, with special emphasis on small, simple churches. Curtis lived in Asia as a missionary for several years, and when he returned to the United States was shocked to discover how much more difficult it was for the people he met here to take in and live out discipleship. Throughout this episode, Curtis shares about his start in international discipleship and multiplication, and some of the primary hindrances he has seen for this work in the U.S. The guys also discuss with Curtis issues of heresy, how to prevent it, and how to handle it when it does rear its head in the simple church context.

In this episode, we interview a couple who has been sharing their experiences with Zúme and how they can reach people worldwide. William and Beth Sawyer have been involved in ministry for several years. They were first introduced to Zúme about 10 years ago by Curtis Sergeant, but they did not explore its potential for reaching the lost until recently when they began using Zúme Training to coach disciples to lead their discipleship groups. In the last 3 months, they have coached Christians in North America, Africa, and Asia. One of the primary tools they have used in the training resources is the S.O.A.P.S program which familiarizes new Christians with the scriptures and the disciplines of Christianity.
