The “Wicked” Discipleship Problem
How a Healthy Church Faced Disciplemaking Challenges—and What They Did About It
Tuesday | September 24 | 3pm ET
First Church was a vibrant, mid-sized community with multiple services and active ministries.
But the COVID-19 pandemic brought to light a harsh reality that had been growing. Attendance was down. Programs were no longer engaged as they once had been. People seemed to prefer information consumption over formation. In short, a discipleship crisis was revealed.
First Church realized they were dealing with a “wicked problem”—a complex issue that couldn’t be solved with minor tweaks. Today, First Church looks very different, with new strategies and practices in place to foster disciple growth in this changed environment.
In this free webinar, Pastor and Author Matt Lake will cover:
- What a “wicked problem” is and how to approach it
- Exploring clues in multiple historical examples of disciplemaking for today’s church leaders
- How embracing “tension” can actually support disciple growth
This free webinar is ideal for church leaders who want to boost discipleship. Register now to watch live or catch it on-demand.
