Discipleship by Example
Brett Maddocks, Allen Cason, and Jim Morrow discuss the role of demonstration in making disciples. Drawing on The Master Plan of Evangelism and examples from Jesus’ life, they explore why spiritual practices and character are passed on not only through teaching, but through living alongside others.

Key takeaway: Disciple-making is more than transferring information. It means letting others see how faith is practiced in everyday life—including prayer, scripture, service, honesty, and how we respond to difficulty.
Questions for reflection:
- What in your walk with Christ would you hope someone else imitates?
- Is there a habit or response you would not want others to copy?
- Who could you invite to learn and practice alongside you?
