The episode explains the Lamppost Strategy for disciple making, emphasizing one-to-one disciple making based on 2 Timothy 2:2. It critiques how traditional disciple-making methods are often ineffective in American church culture, which can be antagonistic towards the concept. The strategy focuses on developing third-generation disciple makers to shift from 80% walking away to 80% staying in faith. This process involves creating a robust culture of discipleship through 90-day cycles, emphasizing foundational content, developing the right culture, and ensuring effective organizational connections. The strategy also uses Benjamin Franklin’s invention of the lamppost as a metaphor for creating an attractive and sustainable disciple-making model within the church.   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction and Overview 03:30 Implementing Third Generation Disciple Makers 09:35 The Importance of Foundational Discipleship 14:00 Content, Culture, and Connection 29:09 Balancing Discipleship Needs 32:50 90-Day Discipleship Cycles 36:32 Pre-Decision and Post-Decision Efforts 47:46 Third Generation Disciples: A Deeper Look 54:30 Q&A and Final Thoughts   Resources on Discipleship The Definition of a Disciple Becoming a Disciple Maker https://church-multiplication.com/disciplemaker/
