They explore why these movements have thrived in regions like South Asia but remain slower to gain traction in North America. Highlights from the Episode Josh shares how movements in South Asia have seen remarkable success, citing examples like 75,000 conversions in nine months. He contrasts this with the slower growth in North America, attributing it less to cultural factors and more to deeper spiritual and heart-level issues. Two Key Success Factors The hosts identify two game-changing practices driving movements overseas: Radical Prayer and Fasting: South Asian leaders dedicate hours daily to prayer and frequently fast, practices less common in North American churches. Josh emphasizes that these spiritual disciplines create the foundation for breakthroughs. Personal Evangelism: Leaders overseas are bold and persistent in sharing the gospel, sowing “seeds” widely. The hosts argue that more sharing leads to a greater harvest, encouraging listeners to adopt this “crazy farmer” mindset. North American Barriers The conversation shifts to the unique obstacles in North America, including: Busyness and Self-Sufficiency: The fast-paced, self-reliant culture leaves little space for spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting. Comfort Zones: A lack of desperation for spiritual renewal often hinders a deeper dependence on Jesus. Practical Steps for Listeners Josh and Jason offer actionable advice: Start small with prayer and fasting, even just with a friend or small group for accountability. Pray intentionally for revival and specific individuals by name. Focus on strategic, mission-oriented prayers rather than only personal needs. Stories and Encouragement Josh shares powerful examples from South Asia, illustrating how focused prayer and fasting have sparked spiritual awakenings. He encourages listeners to expect God to move when they step out in faith. Reframing Evangelism The hosts address common misconceptions about evangelism: Words Matter: They debunk the idea of “preach the gospel, use words if necessary,” stressing the need for both proclamation and a gospel-aligned lifestyle. Positive Message: Sharing the beauty and grace of Jesus is more effective than relying on fear or condemnation. A Vision for Revival Josh and Jason end on a hopeful note, envisioning a future where North American Christians embrace prayer, fasting, and bold evangelism to spark widespread spiritual renewal. Call to Action Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the episode's themes and take small, actionable steps toward deeper spiritual practices. Josh hints at more in-depth discussions in upcoming episodes and directs listeners to resources on discipleship.org for support. This episode is packed with practical insights and inspiring stories, urging believers to lean into prayer, fasting, and evangelism to reignite disciple-making movements.

My guest today is Phil Moore, author of the book "The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus." Phil is a former megachurch pastor in London who went through a major shift during the pandemic. See, Phil was leading this thriving church, doing all the things we're told to do to grow a big, successful congregation. But then COVID hit, and everything changed. Why? Because Phil started asking some hard questions - is what we're doing really working? Is this the way Jesus wants us to make disciples? What Phil discovered by connecting with disciple-making movements in places like Iran and India completely upended his approach. He realized the key to mature disciples of Jesus isn't about gathering big crowds, but about empowering everyday believers to make disciples who make disciples. It's a radically decentralized, reproducible model. As Phil will share, when we rediscover the simple, revolutionary teachings of Jesus in Matthew 10 and Luke 10, it has the power to transform not just our churches, but the very way we think about the Great Commission. This is a conversation that could be a real game-changer for how discipleship works in the body of Christ. So join us as we learn how to make disciples that make disciples. Phil is an author, speaker and teacher based in London, UK. Phil came to faith as a student at Cambridge University and was trained within the Newfrontiers family of churches. He serves as a teacher, speaker, DMM leader and encourager of churches, both in the UK and beyond. He is the author of "The Bible in 100 Pages", "The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus" and the "Straight to the Heart" series of devotional commentaries.In his latest book, "The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus", Phil has the privilege of telling the story of underground house church movements across India, Iran, Afghanistan and the Middle East. The leaders of these movements are skilled at hiding their identities, but they were able to communicate securely with Phil so that he could pass on their amazing story of God's faithfulness to the world.Phil is married to Ruth and they have four young children. Together, they love eating strange and exotic food, as well as anything to do with campervans. They also love Roald Dahl, which makes Phil's children complain that his own books do not contain enough pictures, talking animals or chocolate factories.Phil's Book:The Forgotten Manifesto of JesusPhil's Recommendation:Spirit WalkJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

But more than that, Neil is a trusted friend and mentor who has spoken into Jessie's life for over a decade. Together, they dive into the heart of discipleship, exploring why the early church thrived without curriculum, steps, or instructions—simply by connecting directly with Jesus. Neil challenges us to strip away the complexities we've added to discipleship and return to the raw, life-changing relationship with Christ that transforms from the inside out. They discuss how to introduce others to Jesus in authentic ways, how to navigate church hurt, and why it's time to take bold, risky steps in our faith.The Ordinary Discipleship podcast with Jesse Cruickshank and the Whoology team is a journey through the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and narrative to ignite the disciplemaker in you.  Delve into the transformative power of storytelling, exploring how our brains are wired for transformation and discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.

In this episode, Brian and Cory reflect on the podcast series we've been in for the last year where we've explored the 15 observations in urban disciple-making movements, a study conducted by TwoFourEight. This episode is a look back over the last year and highlighting some key-learnings from the interviews. It's been incredible to see how many of these are such a high value for us as a network, and to see how many in which we still have room for growth. We hope these have been helpful episodes and encourage you to listen back through this past years worth of podcasts on this series if you're just jumping in with us. 

In this episode, Brian and Cory discuss the importance of creating intentional and consistent rhythms of connection in disciple making movements. This is observation #15 from TwoFourEight's document on the 15 Observations found in urban disciple-making movements. TwoFourEight discovered in their interviews the need for consistency at every level of engagement, from individual disciples to microchurches and networks. We highlight the challenge of maintaining consistency in a busy and individualistic culture but stress the importance of fighting for it. We also explore the idea of healthy family rhythms and how they can be applied to disciple-making. 

In this episode, Brian and Cory walk through the nine paradigm shifts that are necessary if we want to see a disciple-making movement. We have included these shifts in our Missionary Pathway Primer as well. These paradigm shifts challenge traditional approaches to evangelism, discipleship, and many of our western church forms and encourage a more holistic and movement-oriented perspective. We aim to share how these are grounded in Scripture and have formed us as a movement in Kansas City. 

In this episode Brian, Cory, and Darryl Answer discuss the importance of coaching ordinary people within the context of New Community, a Hub within the Kansas City Underground. Darryl shares his background and the various roles he plays, including being a coach and a hub director. We talk about the challenges of coaching, such as finding time to connect and overcoming the mindset of waiting for permission. Darryl emphasizes the need for imagination and the role of a coach in helping people step back and see the bigger picture of what God is doing.

The conversation with Wendy McWherter delves into the world of coaching and disciple-making, exploring the overlap between coaching and adult learning models. Wendy shares the nine competencies of coaching and the five questions that form the backbone of a coaching conversation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a coaching mindset and the theological foundation of coaching, drawing parallels to the way Jesus engaged with his disciples. The conversation also touches on the practical application of coaching in everyday life and the potential impact of integrating coaching into training programs for disciple-makers.

In this episode Cory and Brian interview Zachary Harrod. Zachary shares his journey of faith and life in Prague, discussing his involvement in American football, coaching, and church planting. The conversation delves into the challenges of discipleship in a post-Christian context and the importance of vulnerability in building relationships and sharing faith. The missionary pathway and the concept of the 15-second story are explored as tools for engaging in spiritual conversations. We also explore the role of ongoing coaching in disciple-making movements, emphasizing the need for adaptability and creativity in the approach. We also touch on the importance of contextualizing coaching methods and unleashing the freedom and creativity of individuals to flourish. 

In this episode, Cory and Brian interview Brian Phipps, director of Disciples Made and a board member of the KC Underground. Brian Phipps discusses the importance of coaching disciple-making leaders to pursue their God-given goals. He shares his own journey of shifting from a traditional model of ministry to a focus on disciple multiplication. Phipps emphasizes the need for ongoing coaching and accountability, as well as the importance of character and calling in the coaching relationship. He also highlights the value of community that is formed through mission-focused discipleship. Phipps encourages coaches to help individuals set specific goals and pursue them with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The job of a coach is to ensure that you're more dependent upon the Spirit of God than you are the coach. - Brian Phipps

In this episode, Brian and Cory interview Sara Jackaway, a director of the Serve Hub with KC Underground. We discuss the importance of ongoing coaching in urban disciple-making movements. Sara shares her background in counseling and church planting, highlighting the significance of caring for the whole family unit and helping individuals become fully alive in Jesus. We explore the role of coaching in supporting and empowering everyday leaders in their mission and context. Sara emphasizes the importance of listening, noticing themes, and asking questions to understand and support individuals on their journey. We also discuss the balance between shepherding and prophetic gifting in coaching and the need for coaches to do their own internal work.

Disciple-Making Movements, or DMM, is a missions strategy that has been employed by missionaries across the world. Sometimes controversial, the missions model sought to help people come to Christ, even in countries where persecution was rife. DMM followed an earlier, related strategy called Church-Planting Movements, or CPM. David Garrison helped pioneer CPM in the late 1990s and the missions strategy has morphed since then. But what is DMM? How did it evolve from CPM? What do pastors and Christians need to know about the missional framework now that DMM is cropping up not just overseas, but in congregations across the West? “Sean,” a pastor, former missionary, and former parachurch leader, joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to sketch out what DMM represents as well as its implications. Drawing from his extensive experience overseas, Sean offers rare insights into a topic many believers have never heard of before. With their eyes wide open, biblical Christians can make informed decisions on the type of churches, and they type of missions, they wish to advance.

In episode 315 of Missions Incorporated, a podcast for Practical Missions Cohort, the show focuses on defining Biblical Missions and Biblical Missions Proper. This episode unpacks the confusion that exists regarding missions today and investigates some disputable mission concepts such as Disciple Making Movements. Jesse highlights the real intention behind Biblical Missions as per the scriptures, emphasizing it as a gospel ministry carried out through local churches to actively support the Great Commission. The podcast also provides updates about their ongoing ministry in Italy and offers their audience participation opportunities in various programs, including summer cohorts and vision trips.Links Mentioned:Radius Article on DMMSupport PMc PMc Short-term Cohorts - join an evangelism team in the summerVision Trip - organize a trip to learn about PMc and the Italian contextPMc AcademiaThe Italian Cohort - join PMc's online Discord communityServe - PMc has numerous avenues of involvementPMc Missions BlogLinks:PMc Promo VideoMissionary Q&APodcast Producer - available positionMissions Incorporated videosJesse's interview on Provoked PodcastJesse's interview on The Lancaster PatriotOur furlough is finished but the mission continues!

"DMM in the macro, [focuses on the big picture and] recognizes the scope of what it takes to catalyze Disciple-Making Movements, is much bigger than what one person can do with their time. Macro-DMM thinking focuses on Systems, Processes and Developing Leaders." In it's greatest expression, Macro-DMM acts like a brain: balancing the strengths, commitment levels and vision of where we are going--the effect of this is that we can move together as a unified body, the Body of Christ.   "DMM in the micro's focus is, what does me and my team need to do each day to make disciples, that WILL in turn make more disciples?" At it's best, Micro-focused DMM gives us momentum, step-by-step progress to achieving our big vision.   In today's podcast, we cover the following: What are the 5 different levels of a leader, and how does thinking Macro/Micro help you progress through these levels? How to set yourself up for strategic planning by categorizing your efforts into Micro/Macro Disciple Making.  How the body of Christ can assume their role and work together to have a unified effect on neighborhood, city and country alike.

Disciple Making Movement  Cynthia Anderson The primary command Jesus gave His disciples was to “Go and make disciples.” He did not say, “Go and get people saved” (though that is an important first step). He did not say, “Go into all the earth and heal people.” He did not say, “Go into all the earth and convert different religions to Christianity.” The command He gave was “Go and make DISCIPLES.”  That is what we are supposed to be doing. Preaching, witnessing, having people to be born again – all of those are STEPS to help people to BECOME disciples. That is one of the main problems the modern church is experiencing. We are too focused on the other STEPS and not the Disciple Making Step.  Amen! But, our guest today has been on the quest of “Making Disciples” for the last 30 years! Praise God!  Cynthia Anderson is an experienced cross-cultural minister with over 30 years of experience in global leadership, church planting and catalyzing disciple-making movements across the globe. Amen! She and her colleagues pioneered and launched nineteen different disciple multiplying movements – not events – MOVEMENTS – in throughout Africa and Asia, which directly lead to tens of thousands of transformed lives. Praise God!  She continues to work in “multiplying disciples” through her ministry, “Disciple Making Movements Frontier Missions” or “DMM Frontier Missions.” She has just launched a marvelous book that will help you to shift mindsets about discipleship and dramatically alter the outcome of your disciple making efforts! Amen! It is titled, “The Multiplier's Mindset: Thinking Differently About Discipleship.” Help me welcome to the program, Cynthia Anderson! Cynthia, thank you taking the time to join us today and share all about your great book! First question I always ask is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cynthia Anderson?” How did you first get involved with “disciple making?” Your ministry is focused on “Disciple Making Movements.” Explain to us what a “Disciple Making Movement” actually is as compared to, let's say, “Church Planting” or something like that? What are some of the advantages of these massive movements as compared to, let's say the one-on-one discipleship making or the “new believer discipleship classes” you see in many churches today? I explained in the opening that many, many churches today, sadly, have failed to live up to the command Jesus gave us to “Go and make disciples.” And it is not just the churches that have failed, for that is a command given to BELIEVERS. Each one of us. What are some of the obstacles you have observed over the years that has caused this to happen? You have been directly involved in these “movements.” I take this is not so much “one-on-one door knocking” – but massive, community impacting MOVEMENTS. Can you share some interesting things that would demonstrate how these movements can impact a region, leading to the multiplication effect of discipleship? This is different than just going into an area and getting a few people born again and then planting a church,...

Cory and Brian welcome back Rob Wegner to wrap up our conversations around focusing on affinity groups in disciple-making movements in urban contexts. In this episode, we'll revisit why we should focus on affinity groups, stories that demonstrate how this plays out practically within the Underground, and how we can begin to discover our calling.

This week, Cory wraps up a two-part interview with Michael Rojas. This week, Cory and Michael dive deeper into his miraculous story and further discuss how God is using him to reach others like himself. This on-the-ground testimony highlights the 2nd observation of urban movements: emphasize affinity group engagement in cities.

In this episode, Shodankeh Johnson (New Generations) takes us through the significant role that prayer and fasting plays in disciple-making movements, stressing their importance in staying close to God. He encourages us to begin with small steps in incorporating prayer and fasting into our lives: starting with a few hours each week personally, prayer meetings, and special prayer-centric events. He ends with a resonating prayer for strengthening faith and a plea for the willingness to steadfastly embrace prayer and fasting practices.

Gina's guest is Steve Bruns who leads a 3DM-like network of missional church movements from his home base in Norway called Agenda1.

This session takes a journey back to the 1st Century Church and rediscovers some timeless practices that helped to multiply disciples of Jesus around the world in the midst of heavy persecution from Rome and rejection from the Jews. This involves training our members to think and live like missionaries wherever they live, work, play, and learn. The goal of this session is to explore ideas for developing communities of faith like the one described in Acts 2:42-47 focused on saturating your city with the Gospel.   Tom Sherwood Lead Trainer/Coach, Peoples Church House to House

Disciplemaking beats money, but handling money is important.This interview was recorded by some friends of mine who gave me permission to pass it on to you. It covers a variety of topics, starting with a clear conversation about using money in a missions context. They hit on some other key things by the end: disciple-making, strategy coordinators and how funding relates to each.Show Notes:Five Levels of Movement Leadership Video: https://e3partners.org/5-levels-of-movement-leadership/

Old Mindset: There is one “Christian way” to express worship and to be the church. It looks the same across all cultures.New Mindset: God is greatly glorified through authentic, indigenous, expressions of worship and of His body.Show Notes:Cindy's Blog: https://www.dmmsfrontiermissions.com/blog/Online Training: http://courses.dmmsfrontiermissions.com/

Old Mindset: Individuals must make spiritual decisions for themselves.

So when I'm talking to [pastors] the first thing I ask is ‘Hey are you satisfied with how you're fulfilling the great commission? How your church is fulfilling the great commission?'
