Disciple-Making with Dave Buehring

Recently I interviewed David Buehring of Lion Leadership on his new bookThe Great Opportunity - Making Disciples of Jesus in Every Vocation I LOVED it! This interview unpacked how to identify, qualify, invite and challenge people into powerful relationships that are guaranteed to be fruitful. You can apply this to people you want to work with or employ, or people you want to invite into a discipleship group. Here's a quick summary of the key points:

1. Identify who you will work/walk with - in whose ears is your voice loud? Who do you have favor with? Who REALLY listens as evidenced by their follow-through?

2. Qualify them - F.A.S.T acronym

Are they faithful or flaky?

Are they authentic or fake?

Will they share this or are they selfish?

Are they teachable or stubborn?

3. Invite them into a meeting where you share vision/purpose or plan. Outline what you are committing to do with/for them

4. Challenge them by looking them in the eye and asking "Are you ready to match my commitment?"
