Some of us are quick to say we are super intentional, others will lean towards relational. The truth is you probably have a side of the scale that is easier for you than the other, and yet we know: Jesus was an expert at both. Today, we take a look at the disciple making scale, why it's important and encourage you to move more towards the other side.
Takeaway: Disciple makers work on the skill that’s on the opposite of the scale. Developing the balance creates an ideal environment in which disciples can grow.
Action Step: Identify where you are light on the scale and one step in how to grow in it...
