Developing Appropriate Tension in a Disciple Making Relationship
HOW: 1. Listen - For values, priorities, how time in being spent, beliefs about self and God 2. Ask Questions - About time with God, those they are discipling, inconsistencies/incongruences you hear. Places where they can do something/more to make a difference. 3. Walk them to the application. What are you going to do about it? What are you taking with you from our time today? Revisit those when you get back together.
Takeaway: If your disciple making relationship doesn’t have dynamic tension in the relationship you’ll end up stuck.
Action Step: Evaluate the level of the tension in the disciple making relationship, what tools do you need to start using?

4 Things We Know God Does in Disciple Making:
- Entrusts someone to us. (John 17:6,”I have revealed you to those you gave me out of the world. They were yours, but you gave them to me and they obeyed your every word.”)
- Moves their heart. (Proverbs 21:1, “The king’s Heart is in the hand of the Lord, He directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.)
- Guides, Counsels, and Convicts from within through the Holy Spirit.
(John 14:26, “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 16:8, “...he will convict the world of sin and guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment.”)
- Provides Growth.
( 1 Cor. 3:5-6 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe--as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”)
2 Tim. 2:21 (“Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”)
Takeaway: The work of making disciple makers is one that God shares with us. He will occasionally do it on His own, but it’s intended to be a collaborative work.
Action Step: Pray and Trust God to do His part in those you are discipling.
