This semester we’ll put together a “tackle box” for changing the culture in our church, and change our world! Our goal is to significantly shift our thinking about evangelism and discipleship.
Just as with fishing, there are many approaches to discipleship – some new, some old – but the practice is as old as humans. Right now, we’re inclined to turn our current tackle box upside down and rebuild it from scratch. But don’t worry, we aren’t interested in reinventing the wheel… however, we do want to make sure we’ve got the right hooks, lures, and rods for the type of fish that are in our ponds.
Each week, we’ll post short devotions for you learn valuable information. Those devotions will help frame our discussions for the upcoming Group gathering.
