Making Disciples – Rather than Thinking about Disciple Making

John Garghan Image

Slowing down long enough to listen is the most important step you can take if you really want to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Today, you very likely exchanged money or swiped a credit card in the presence of another human being. You may have placed an order with a cashier or wait staff. You might have spoken to a nurse or a receptionist at a doctor’s office.  How many people…

Here is a great little video teaser about focusing on the main thing – making disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World. Look at your last week. Which “church” activities made disciples?

5 Lessons To Learn from Millennials

Denise Broady shares Five Lessons from Millennials on Linked in. It is well worth a read. Here is number five:

Stay True to Your Passion

What I see most in this generation is their ability to love what they do. They always manage to integrate their passion into their everyday life. I love talking to Kirby abouther passion for yogaand French but also see it as an opportunity to connect her with…

The last several weeks I’ve been a church visitor. Vivian and I moved to a new town 90 minutes away. This is the first time in 30 years of marriage that we’ve moved without a church waiting to receive us as a pastor’s family.

We’ve been to six churches so far. The churches know we were there, so I’ll be gentle. But here are my observations.

1. The first seven minutes are indeed when people decide…

Beyond Opportunities for the Church

We swim in a sea of opportunity today. Our cell phone has access 1,800 new hours of video on YouTube every breath we take. Our social media feeds have sophisticated algorithms to limit the flood of meal pics and selfies that our thousands of “friends” post every second. Corporations and non-profits have content push schedules and sophisticated social scientists who know exactly which “six ways to…

Two Ways to Crowd-Source Your Mission

      One of my colleagues asked me about crowd-sourcing ministry needs through a Kickstarter type of web site. I agreed to look into it and publish the results. I only found two platforms that seem to have good track records for churches and ministry needs. There are quite a few other sites out there, but they have very limited results posted. That might be a warning for people thinking…

What if you asked your mission field?

Marriott Hotels are predictable, safe places to stay, right? Hardly a brand known for innovation, Marriott is shaking things up in some innovation zones. Here is an example:

The staff at the Budapest Marriott noticed that there was a large empty space in the hotel with an excellent view of the Danube River—and that the room had been unused for 12 years. The regional Marriott team is currently…

Today marks the second year since God led me into a new ministry and it continues to be an incredible, deeply rewarding journey. Thank you to Vivian for saying “This is definitely what you need to do.”  Thank you to my friends and supporters for your diligent prayers. Thank you to my board members and for my partners at Griffith Coaching and at Passion in Partnership.  Thank you to all the young…

A Prayer for Those Starting Their First Job

Thousands of young adults are starting their first job and some are starting their first living wage job. Here is a prayer for them.

Creator God who gave us hands to grasp, arms to lift, eyes to see and legs to go, bless our dear friend who begins a new work today. Give her (him) ears to hear the encouragement of those in authority over her. Give her a heart to love the people who benefit from…
