In this episode, Ralph Moore and Bobby Harrington discuss the essential role discipleship and within the Hope Chapel movement. Back in 1971, Ralph Moore helped start the Hope Chapel movement, which has resulted in over 2,300 new churches to date. He shares with Bobby Harrington, the founder of Discipleship.org, the story of how Hope Chapel began and how discipleship is at the very heart of the movement: Moore had grown up in the faith reading discipleship materials from the Navigators. Then, he and a friend started prayer walking every Monday morning to seek the Lord. Music credit: Tony Anderson (www.tonyanderson.com).

For Ariyana Rimson discipleship began when she heard the Gospel growing up in church. Her youth ministers pointed her to the Lord, but it didn't really click until she was 19 years old, when she became a disciple. Thats when the Lord began to take her to a place beyond what she had imagined. It started on the day she was baptized when she met an older woman in the church named Leah, who really taught her how to follow Jesus through life-on-life discipleship.

New Resource on Disciple Making Culture!
A disciple making church culture is what your church actually does in disciple making; strategy is your plans on paper. Unfortunately, while we have good intentions to make disciples, our strategy and church culture do not always line up.
Read this 10 minute book – a visual summary – and share it with your leaders so everyone can better understand what it means to have a disciple making culture.
Watch the recordings from our most Recent National Disciple Making Forum
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
The Harvard Business Review describes it this way: “The values, beliefs and behaviors practiced in an organization formed over time because they are rewarded or punished (i.e. by formal or informal rules, rituals, and behaviors.”
The McKinsey Institute put it more simply: “culture is how we do things around here …”
That statement, often attributed to the most influential management guru of our time, Peter Drucker. What Drucker meant by “culture eats strategy for breakfast” was that lasting change in an organization comes only when the culture of an organization changes. Applying this to church, if you do not change the culture of a church, the church will not change.
Many leaders fail to account for this reality.
This gets at the root of why our disciple making plans can so easily fail. We try great strategies—preaching on disciple making, small groups, D-Groups, etc. But our churches will not change—indeed cannot change—because “culture” easily defeats the strategies we adopt.
