The Heart of Engagement
Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
Bottom-line Christian living centers around people as priority.
“Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or the things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet..”
In Christianity, we have often not cared about building relationships. We care about Gospel presentations–which can be unnerving at first. But relationships are hard work.
Foundationally, making disciples is not as much sharing the Gospel as it is walking with others in relationship; with the goal of seeing the Kingdom of God come.
—Our disciple-making efforts must build on the right foundation—
What is the Heart of Engagement?

Starfish, Spiders & the Myth of Decentralization
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
When it comes to DMM, does a centralized leadership team stifle the small group format? Is it more healthy to have leadership, or to not? The answer is a nuanced and emphatic: Both! The Navy seals have incredible leadership structure but operate in small bands, much like DMM. They accomplish this through incredible leader building with intense accountability. It allows the insight of the boots-on-the-ground operator to do what's best, while still being tied to the larger vision and purpose. Our brains can't move like fingers but they can transmit a single purpose that requires multiple faculties (our shoulder, arm, wrist) to work together to accomplish our goal.
- What does it take to have a decentralized team?
- What is appropriate and healthy decentralization?
- What happens when we begin training too soon?

Macro & Micro Planning: How to Plan Today to Reach a Big Vision
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
"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.
