Before people will do what you ask, they will watch what you do. Pastors, you can’t expect your people to do something you aren’t doing. What group of men are you meeting with once a week for prayer? With whom are you studying the Scriptures? With whom and to whom are you holding yourselves accountable? A church member once said to me, “Your talk talks and your walk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.” The way you live speaks volumes about the degree of disciple-making taking place in your church.
