Making disciples matters to God and should matter to the church and every Christ follower. This book proposes to deal with the necessity of making disciples and how to disciple a new or young Christ follower. In America, I believe this is a key issue for us to address. I have heard many people in the church say, "I was converted, but never discipled." I will be encouraging, exhorting, and urging you to return in your personal life and in the church to disciple making. I will give you some helps through what I call a Triple Threat Discipleship model using three key verses as the basis for this book: 2 Timothy 2:2; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Timothy 4:7-8. In this book, I will make clear the necessity of following the command in Matthew 28:19 to make disciples. "Go, baptize, and teach" all support the command of making disciples. In the churches I have been in over the years, they do a fairly good job at winning the lost to the Lord Jesus and baptizing them, but they have not done a good job at teaching them how live out this newfound faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. - Brad Ball If you are looking for an accessible nuts-and-bolts strategy for making disciples, either personally or in the context of your local congregation, then Triple Threat Discipleship is for you. I highly recommend it. - Dr. Ken Easley Professor of Biblical Studies and Director of Graduate Programs, School of Theology and Missions, Germantown Regional Campus, Union University, Pastor, McLean Baptist Church, Memphis Being introduced to true Discipleship by Dr. Ball has had a tremendously positive influence on my walk with Christ. My faith has never gone through a more transforming and inspiring process. Being a part of his D-Group opened my eyes to a completely new lifestyle of remaining in God's word, committing scripture to memory, and living daily in a spirit of prayer. - Jason B. Page, church member, age 41 Aside from salvation, joining a D-group with Dr. Ball has been the greatest thing to happen to my life! If you honestly and truly go in seeking God's will then it will change your life in every aspect. - Caleb Wilson, church member, age 26 Brad Ball received his Doctor of Ministry degree in Expository Preaching at Union University in Jackson, TN, and now is currently the Senior Pastor of Bethsaida Baptist Church in Dublin, GA. Brad has pastored and served at churches in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida for twenty-five years. He is the founder of Triple Threat Discipleship, which is a blog and teaching ministry focused on making disciples. Brad is passionate about preaching the gospel and the Word of God and making disciples who make disciples. Brad and his wife, Janice have been married for twenty-five years. Janice is a disciple maker and very much involved in the ministry at Bethsaida."

God is destroying the kingdom of darkness. God equips and deploys us, his saints, in this magnificent campaign. But the Almighty does not arm us from just a single arsenal of gifts, as is commonly supposed. Instead, he draws from three distinct arsenals: abilities, leaders, and the charismatic gifts. The triune God gives triune gifts. What are these gifts, what are they like, and how do they work? These three arsenals differ profoundly from one another. But the church has not truly discerned this, and so a fog of confusion has enveloped the whole subject. Confusion brings futility and frustration; clarity brings effectiveness and fulfillment. Who gives the gifts, and to whom? When are they given? Are the gifts natural, supernatural, or both? Can any Christian operate in any gift? Where do the gifts live? Can you use them at any time? Can you operate in God's gifts at will? The answers may surprise you. God's Triple Threat, An Inquiry into the Spiritual Gifts works carefully step by step to bring clarity to this often confusing subject with exuberant illustrations for application. Author Greg Carlson prays that the vision in this book will become a reality in his lifetime. So the clock is ticking for you and your church to more fully experience the dynamic of God's threefold gifts.

Everyone is being discipled. The question is: what is discipling us? The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples. But the church is not a secondary platform in the mission of God; it is the primary platform God uses to grow people into the image of Jesus. Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples. There are three indispensable elements of discipleship: Learning to participate in the biblical story (the Bible) Growing in our confession of who God is and who we are (theology) Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines) Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

"As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 'Come, follow me, ' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.'" The relationship between Jesus and these brothers started with the simple words, "Come, follow me." In essence, a disciple of Jesus is a follower. Eventually, Jesus' twelve followers will change the world. However, it is an inconspicuous and unremarkable beginning for an eventual team of world-changers, don't you think? How will an assortment of "unschooled, ordinary men" be transformed into courageous and substantive heralds in just three short years? Transformation, complete and deep-seated transformation, is the answer. How does a total metamorphosis take place within a new follower? Jesus' discipleship begins with a personal relationship and an invitation to join a missional community. Before followership is a program it is a leadership development process experienced within a culture. This book seeks to initiate a dialogue on how to foster a culture of discipleship. No program can fulfill The Great Commission. However, a community of believers committed to transforming the world through the process of disciple-making can. Harvey A.
