Jerry Trousdale warns us of the opposition that can come when we follow the Lord into a disciple-making vision: Experience shows that the opposition to Disciple Making Movements often comes not only from the outside but from Christians who do not understand it or who reject its premises. DMM practitioners have been ostracized from their denominations, have lost friends, have been vilified and slandered, all from within the Christian community. As Christians grow in their discipleship, opposition from both inside and outside the church is inevitable, and we need to be ready for it.
