Simple Church is the current book among many that I am reading. It is pretty amazing how we as leaders can muck up the process of discipleship. I am really getting a new perspective on what it means to have a simple process for growing disciples. They offer a process of helping your church become simple through four ways:
Clarity: Starting with a ministry blueprint. Basically make plans and follow through on them. No one builds a house without first drawing up blueprints.
Movement: Removing congestion. Getting those things out of the way that is hindering the process of discipleship.
Alignement: Maximizing the energy of everyone
Focus: Saying no to almost everything. That is a cool concept in our please everyone world.
I encourage you, if you are a pastor/leader in a church or plan on planting a church read this book. It will really help you develop a simple process for making disciples.

Hey, you knew the author is Southern Baptist, right? Didn't think you could entertain any of our thoughts.
