How To Be A Disciple Maker in Every Vocation with Dave Buehring

In this episode of the L3 Leadership Podcast, you'll hear Dave Buehring, Founder & President of Lionshare, share how to make disciples of Jesus in every vocation.

Key Takeaways:

Jesus can impact every sphere of your life. He came to change the world, not just the church. We often limit disciple-making to the church or something only the church does.

Disciple-Making vs. Mentoring: Disciple-Making always tethers things to Jesus. How to live and work practically for Jesus.

Since most of us were not intentionally discipled, we don’t know how to disciple others.

How do we make disciples? We look for people who are F.A.S.T.

Faithful

Available

Servent-Hearted

Teachable

The first question I ask in looking for someone to disciple: In whose ears will my words be big? Those are the people that we have favor with. They listen to what we have to say, do it, and come back for more.

Dave discusses his one-year disciple-making curriculum and why it works.

The whole mission of the early church would’ve been to do what Jesus did. What did he do? He made disciples. Church planting and church growth are supposed to be the fruit of proper discipleship.

“Just becuase you have the gift of God on you, doesn’t mean your character is where it needs to be.”
