Key Components of Disciple Making Culture (Part 2) | Brandon Guindon

Building a Disciple Making Culture in Churches: Essential Components Explained

The interview captures an in-depth conversation with Brandon Guindon on the critical elements of fostering a disciple-making culture within churches. It embarks on the journey of exploring the final two components essential in cultivating such an environment, building upon a foundation of having a biblical basis and intentional leadership discussed in the first part.

The third key component, 'Relational Environments,' is underscored as fundamental. Brendon illustrates how disciple-making, inspired by Jesus Christ’s methods, thrives in settings steeped in personal interactions and genuine relationships. He reiterates that Jesus’s approach was predominantly relational, emphasizing face-to-face engagements and the power of questioning to foster understanding and personal growth among his disciples. This environment aligns closely with the biblical narrative of Jesus's engagement and is pivotal for applying scriptural teachings effectively in people’s lives. Brandon highlights the importance of small group settings for facilitating such relational engagements, enabling individuals to navigate their spiritual journeys through shared learning and mutual support.

In connection to relational environments, Brandon touches upon the instrumental role of the Holy Spirit in both informing and empowering disciples, thus furthering the mission of disciple-making. He stresses that Holy Spirit’s guidance is crucial for bearing the fruits of discipleship, reflecting on the symbiosis between being informed by the Holy Spirit and being empowered to perform greater acts.

Brendon also shares insights from his church's implementation of small groups, presenting a structure that embraces diversity and fosters inclusivity. He discusses the nuanced leadership within these groups, aimed at replication and expansion of the disciple-making culture. Through practical examples, he demonstrates the church’s commitment to qualitative growth over quantitative, focusing on the impact and transformation in individuals’ lives rather than numbers.

The concept of 'Reproducible Processes' is discussed as the final cornerstone. Brandon emphasizes simplicity and intentionality in multiplying the disciple-making efforts, drawing reference to Jesus’s method of teaching and leading his disciples. He argues for processes that not only convey knowledge but also translate into actionable practices, embodying the teachings of Jesus in daily living, thus making the disciple-making culture sustainable and expansive.

In conclusion, Brandon reiterates the significance of starting with a robust biblical foundation, fostering intentional leadership, nurturing relational environments, and establishing reproducible processes as the four pivotal components for creating a vibrant disciple-making culture within churches. He encourages persistence, underlined by hope and reliance on divine guidance, to overcome obstacles and advance the mission of making disciples, echoing the model set forth by Jesus Christ.
