I couldn't agree more - this is the disciple we need.

Jay Lorenzen from On Movements said it best and it summarizes some of my observations from our time in Boulder the past 12 years. When we had problems in Boulder is was partly in response to having and producing the wrong kind of disciple. He talks about the kind of disciples (Christians) we need to impact our world. This is exactly what we're looking for.

  1. Real, Not Religious
  2. Teaching others to obey rather than to know.
  3. Living Apostolically
  4. Seeing Mission Philosophically, not geographically
  5. Expecting to Change the World
  6. Measuring growth by capacity to release, not retain
  7. Placing Kingdom concerns first.

A short must read is found at Disciples Who Build Movements
