Lightbulb Learning: Getting Beyond Information Transfer | Small Circle Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

We don’t just learn through words—we learn through experience. A disciple isn’t formed by simply transferring information, and no one understood this better than Jesus. Think about when Peter was challenged to step out of the boat. That wasn’t just a lesson—it was a life-altering experience. Do you think Peter ever forgot it? In this session, we’ll explore how to integrate powerful, real-life experiences—what we call "Labs"—into disciple-making, just as Jesus did. You’ll walk away with a collection of practical, hands-on labs that will take your disciple-making beyond information transfer and into transformational impact.

Creating a Disciple Making *Culture* Is Possible With an Intentional Strategy | Small Circle Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Disciple making isn’t a program—it was never meant to be. The goal is creating a culture where disciple making becomes the core DNA of our churches and organizations, inside and out. This session will unpack the essential building blocks for cultivating that culture: equipping everyday believers, reaching fourth-generation disciple-making and beyond, discipling people both to Jesus and in Jesus, and expanding the impact of disciple making from our local corner to the corners of our city, region, and to the corners of the world. This is possible with an intentional strategy.

Why God Wired Us for One-To-One Relationships Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever noticed how a conversation feels different when it’s just the two of you in a restaurant booth—no distractions, no third party—just a unique sense of closeness? That’s because God engineered us for different levels of relational depth in different settings. Jesus modeled disciple-making across all these spaces—larger groups, micro-groups (3-4 people), and one-to-one. Yet, the one-to-one dynamic is often overlooked, and with it, an invaluable relational depth is lost. This session will uncover why one-to-one disciple-making is essential, the life-changing power it holds, and the practical strategy for making it a core part of disciple-making.

Bill Hull and Renew.org explore how the gospel we preach determines the disciples we produce, arguing that conversion and discipleship must be joined. Drawing on Scripture, Bonhoeffer, and practical church experience, this session explains the gospel declaration, gospel response, and gospel benefits, and offers clear steps for defining and building a disciple-making church.

Learn practical strategies for forming groups, training leaders, and teaching core disciple characteristics so churches can multiply committed followers who not only trust Jesus but follow Him.
