Relationships are central to Jesus’s model of discipleship. Yet many church leaders find themselves lonely, exhausted, and lacking the kind of relationships Jesus encouraged. How do we change this?
Church leaders can beat loneliness and burnout by focusing on relational discipleship—not only in their congregations but in their own lives, too.
In this free one-hour webinar, author and senior pastor Jim Putman will discuss how church leaders can cultivate authentic relational discipleship in their lives and ministries. He'll help you shift your focus away from discipleship programs and toward authentic discipleship relationships.
While these programs can be useful, discipleship is really about the relationships that come out of programs. When church leaders live connected lives of fellowship, they provide a model for their ministries to follow, resulting in a church that grows effectively.
