We all want to grow disciples who follow Jesus in every part of their lives. But that’s easier said than done. How do we go from good intentions to best practice?
Following Jesus was always meant to impact all of our lives, and the world through us. That’s the focus our churches need as we make disciples. It’s a simple message, but over decades of work with thousands of churches, we’ve found it’s easier to say than to make real. From rotas to crises, so much gets in the way.
That’s exactly why Vital Signs exists.
Rev Ken Benjamin, LICC’s Director of Church Relationships and a former minister and President of Baptists Together, has developed 20 ways to put whole-life discipleship at the heart of your church culture. Twenty vital signs to check – from personal Bible reading to crisis response, service planning to pastoral chats, baptism prep to annual reports.
This isn’t about adding to your to-do list. It’s about bringing new perspective to what you already do.
