Practical Next Steps to Shift Culture and Launch New Churches | S7 Ep. 3

Transforming Church Culture: From Inspiration to Practical Steps in Disciple Making Movements
Today's episode of the Real Life Theology Podcast involves a dialogue focusing on transitioning church communities from merely understanding the importance of disciple making to implementing practical steps towards fostering disciple making movements. It covers various strategies and experiences from rewriting mission and vision statements to decentralizing leadership structures to encourage disciple making at all levels. Key insights include the need for aligning church culture with Jesus' commission through practical, actionable strategies, the significance of adopting a 'diffuse' rather than a 'dump' approach to cultural change within the church, and the importance of focusing on early adopters to drive the transition. The dialogue underscores the critical role of storytelling and sharing testimonies within the church community to inspire and motivate congregation members towards embracing disciple making as a core part of their faith practice.
