Why Pedagogy Shapes the Future of Disciple-Making Movements
🟠 StarfishyoU | February 2025
If our training methods don’t look like Jesus’ way of making disciples, why do we expect Jesus-like results?
In this Bonus Conversation, we dive into a topic that is easy to overlook but is critical for the multiplication of disciples and leaders—pedagogy.
That’s right. We’re talking about how we train people, not just what we train them in. Why? Because the way we train people shapes the very culture of our disciple-making efforts. We need a pedagogy that matches our mission.
Key Takeaways:
🔥 The medium is the message: If we preach the priesthood of all believers but train in a hierarchical system, we undermine our own message.
🔥 From content to culture: Church leaders have been obsessed with curriculum, but what we really need is a culture of disciple-making.
🔥 Obedience over information: Transformation doesn’t happen through consuming content—it happens through small steps of Spirit-led obedience in community in everyday life.
🔥 Tools over concepts: Simple, reproducible tools accelerate disciple-making and movement.
🔥 The role of conscious displacement: Transformation happens when we intentionally move out of places of power and comfort to be present and shaped by others—just as Jesus did (Philippians 2:5-8)..
