Pause: Celebrate the Win
Provided to you by Ryan Keaton, Strengthening Evangelistic Disciples Team Leader, Tennessee Baptist Mission Board

Ministry is fast paced. Groups, events, relationships, and services can dominate our minds and calendars. One goal is accomplished, and we move on to the next thing on the agenda. The grind never seems to stop. Good things can be happening, but it is hard to recognize because the mechanisms of our ministry are drowning out the mission. Sometimes, we become so focused on what needs to happen next that we fail to stop and recognize what God has already done.

Are Groups the Core of Your Disciplemaking Ministry?
Provided to you by John McClendon

As a leader considers the groups ministry in the church the question must be asked, “Are groups the core of your disciplemaking ministry?” Healthy disciplemaking doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentional environments where people consistently gather, study God’s Word, and build relationships that point them toward Christ. Healthy groups can become the core of your disciplemaking strategy —but only if they’re designed with care.
