the long tail of discipleship



Some of you have probably heard of this exponential “math” in one way or another. But to see it illustrated, all I can say is, wow. This turns many of our “discipleship” ideas on its head.

What would the church look like if we instituted this? We will have to seriously rethink our metrics for success. Success won’t be quick growth, big worship services, etc. but rather an slow process of developing Christ followers one-by-one. We could reap amazing harvests if we are patient…
