Organic Disciples: Seven Ways to Grow Spiritually and Naturally Share Jesus
About this audiobook
Read by the authors.
Could sharing your faith be the secret to developing your spiritual maturity?
For many followers of Jesus, discipleship means doing certain things to deepen our connection with Jesus Christ. But our spiritual growth checklists are often disconnected from the mission of reaching a lost world with the gospel message.
Taking a holistic approach that unites evangelism and discipleship, Kevin and Sherry Harney demonstrate how God's plan for our spiritual growth is intimately connected to his mission to the world.
In Organic Disciples, the couple lead ordinary followers of Jesus through seven markers of spiritual maturity, showing how simple shifts in our Bible reading, prayer, community life, giving, service, and other biblical practices can connect us with God's work of reaching people with his love. You'll learn:
- Why true spiritual maturity will always lead believers outward to engage the world with the good news and truth of Jesus.
- How to overcome the common roadblocks and false narratives that stand in the way of spiritual maturity.
- How to design a personal pathway of growth to be more like Jesus in character and mission.
