Why Most Christians Never Share Their Faith (And How to Change That)
The key to effective disciple making isn't found in programs or strategies, but in our love relationship with Jesus. Statistics show that 80-90% of Christians have never shared the gospel, not primarily due to lack of training, but because they aren't deeply in love with Christ. We naturally talk about what we love - sports, family, hobbies - so if we're not talking about Jesus, we need to examine our relationship with Him. True disciple making flows from delighting in God, declaring the gospel, and discipling others in reproducible relationships. When we fall deeply in love with Jesus, sharing our faith and investing in others becomes the natural overflow of our hearts.

How Discovery Groups Strengthen Marriages & Reach Neighborhoods
Discovery Groups are small, home-based outreach groups designed to connect with people far from God by addressing real-life needs like marriage challenges. These 5-6 week groups bring together couples from the same neighborhood to discuss practical marriage tools in a safe, welcoming environment. Led by volunteer couples without special training, they use structured materials that encourage authentic sharing and relationship building. The approach combines evangelism and discipleship, often leading to gospel conversations and lasting friendships. Many groups result in people coming to faith or connecting with local churches, making this a powerful strategy for community outreach that has been producing fruit for over twenty years.
