The one BIG How do you disciple another man? Men in thousands of churches across the world know there is more to faith than just attending church ― they know there is the potential to walk in Christ’s image, live in Christ’s image, and work to spread Christ’s word. But the one big question they are all asking is how? The Spirit of God is compelling them to seek the answer. This book is the gateway to answering that question. The authors spent years struggling to build a life of meaning before realizing their depravity and asking the “What does it mean to be a godly man, and how can I become one?” The Spirit answered by sending men into their lives to disciple them, not with disdain or judgment, but with love and compassion, a gospel-centered focus. These men walked alongside them in the messiness of life, helping them to apply Biblical truths and spiritual disciplines in a challenging world. From their own personal journeys, out of the abyss, the authors have written this book. Here you will learn
Real-Life The Ordinary Man’s Guide to Disciple-Making offers a gateway from confusion to clarity, from struggle to transformation.

Very good truths about discipleship. Below are some takeaways for me:
You can’t give away what you don’t possess.
If you were in a room of people and asked them about discipleship, almost everyone of them would refer to a person that helped them in their life.
Preaching is essential, but your preaching is not discipleship.
Discipleship is 2 Timothy 2:2 in action.
Discipleship is the process of spiritual growth.
Jesus was not just telling disciples to be like Him, He was showing them how to live God-centered lives.
Discipleship is one individual investing in one or more other individuals on a consistent basis.
Which results more in your children listening — what you tell them to do or what they see you do? And this is what discipleship is about as well.
You can and should be a disciple, as well as a disciple maker.
You need to know who you are, but you also need to know Who’s you are.
If you want others to follow your example, you must have been discipled and be discipling others.
Discipleship is not about perfection, but about progress.
Luke 6:12–13 teaches that before Jesus chose the disciples, He spent time in prayer.
Jesus always spoke to His Father. We would be wise to realize we cannot do anything on our own, we need God’s help.
Discipleship is more caught than taught. Do not overcomplicate discipleship; recognize how Jesus walked and spent time investing in others.
Much of what you need to do with those you are discipling is to love them.
In Luke 8, we see only 25% of the seed sown bears fruit. We should not be surprised that not everyone we disciple will bear fruit, but we still do our duty.
The growth of an individual is not like a mushroom that shoots up quickly, rather like an oak that grows over a long period of time.
Discipleship is relational, it is life-on-life.
