Active Discipleship eBook, $5.99
Welcome to “Active Discipleship,” a guide tailored for church leaders seeking to rejuvenate the timeless practice of Active Discipleship within their churches. This comprehensive resource offers theological insights, philosophical foundations, and practical systems, to breathe new life into your church’s disciple-making. Altogether, drawing from fourteen years of extensive market research across churches of various sizes and traditions, this book introduces a groundbreaking disciple-making software known as NextSteps.
Every Christian is called to participate in the God-given mission of making disciples for Jesus Christ. However, the challenge lies in the practical implementation—how do we effectively organize, train, and mobilize the body of Christ? Furthermore, how can each believer serve both as disciple and as a contributor to the disciple-making process?
“Active Discipleship” goes beyond mere training; it advocates for the establishment of a robust support system and organizational infrastructure. Unquestionably, most pastors do not possess the expertise in building such systems. As a result, we have partnered “Active Discipleship” with the NextSteps Discipleship Tracking and Equipping Platform hosted by AssessME.org. Certainly, this collaboration ensures a seamless integration of intellectual insights and practical systems, making Active Discipleship a reality in the digital age.
Consequently, by combining the wisdom from “Active Discipleship” with the power of the NextSteps software, your church gains access to a revolutionary approach to intentional and interpersonal discipleship. Therefore, this partnership promises to transform your church’s disciple-making efforts, empowering you to make disciples of Jesus Christ more intentionally and effectively than ever before.

eShift, $11.19
eShift serves as a training resource for church and ministry leaders, aiding them in grasping the cultural transition from television influence to internet influence. This shift significantly impacts how churches organize Sunday services and related support programs. While many churches believe they are technologically advanced by live-streaming services online, akin to television broadcasts in the 1970s, they fail to recognize the profound cultural shift towards internet influence. eShift guides local churches in breaking free from outdated 1970s approaches to church operations and transitioning into the digital era of the 2020s and beyond.
