Movements With Steve Addison

 It isn't the changes that do you in, it's the transitions. William Bridges Most change ventures fail when leaders think only about the change to be introduced rather than the people who need to embrace it. In this interview, David Broodryk talks about helping churches embrace and adopt the principles and practices of disciple making movements. David is a trainer, coach and catalyst for disciple making movements. You can register online to access his resources. NOTE; I had planned to release this in two weeks' time, but David's insights are so important I hit "publish" as soon as it was ready to go. I think this interview will form the basis of a whole chapter for my next book on movement leadership. It fills in the missing pieces on helping existing churches play their part in disciple making movements. A game changer for me. Thanks David! UPDATE: Interview with Peter Snyman.

Three presentations from the CRM World-wide Conference. I'm first up with my story of moving from an expert to a practitioner.

Chuck Wood (2nd on the left) picked up a copy of Discipleship ReRevolution by Steve Smith and Ying Kai. As he began to read, Chuck heard a voice in his heart say, “Humble yourself and do this.” Chuck had read hundreds of books on discipleship. He wasn’t about to just drop everything he knew and blindly start doing what the latest book taught. But the voice would not go away, and finally he accepted it was the Holy Spirit. Listen in to the Movements podcast to learn how God gave Chuck a vision and a strategy for reaching his city and training others around the world. Chuck’s website is loaded with great resources and training opportunities.

David Garrison talks about his new book, A Wind in the House of Islam. God is drawing Muslims to faith in Jesus Christ all around the world. David's book examines 45 Muslim movements to Christ. He helps us understand what God is doing, and shows us how to get involved in reaching the world's 1.6 billion Muslims.

(Kevin Greeson) "Any-3: Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime -- Win Muslims to Christ Now!" (Mike Shipman)

Around two-thirds of people are oral and not literary learners. Up to two-thirds of the Bible is narrative. Jesus taught using an oral approach. Yet Christian workers rely heavily on evangelism and discipleship strategies based upon abstract, literary foundations. In this podcast Steve Parlato explains the difference between an oral and a literary approach and the implications for sharing the gospel, making disciples and multiplying churches.
