Dynamic Discipleship: Your practical how-to guide for growing followers of Jesus

Signs that church attendance may finally be increasing make for encouraging reading. But bums on seats on a Sunday isn’t the same as kingdom growth, warns Fusion’s Luke Smith. Here’s how you can join with Jesus’ mission to make disciples that make disciples

In the past year, we’ve seen some incredible things happening in the Church. Through reports such as Bible Society’s The Quiet Revival and stories from churches up and down the UK, I’m convinced that God is doing a fresh work in this generation. 

Yet, I can’t help worrying that we might also be in danger of missing the biggest missional opportunity of the last 70 years. That we might be confusing church growth with kingdom growth. There is an undeniable increase in the number of people physically in church. But numerical growth isn’t the same as disciple-making – and it’s disciple-making that leads to kingdom growth.
