Pray for Fort Hood

It's hard to imagine what the soldiers and their families at Fort Hood are going through in the wake of yesterday's tragedy which took the lives of 13 and 30 more injured. Please pray for those who are injured and for families of loved ones who lost their lives while serving our country. And pray that God will show all of us how to respond to this unimaginable tragedy in a way that glorifies Him, just as Jesus did in Luke 13.

Many churches have a linear discipleship program where they try to funnel everyone through the same process. Sadly, many times churches simply use the latest program or book in hopes that what works for a large church across the country in a different context will work for them. Organic discipleship is the opposite. Organic discipleship is an organic understanding of the spiritual formation that begins and ends with the gospel. Just as the physical body has to have an organic structure to hold it together while allowing it to grow and develop, likewise the body of Christ must have an organic structure that can do the same. Organic discipleship is not a program or curriculum; rather it is about learning the natural rhythms of discipleship within your church context.

“Winfield Bevins provides pastors and church planters with a great tool for developing an organic discipleship process that is gospel-centered and missional. Organic Discipleship will help your church rediscover the lost art of disciple-making for the 21st century. If you want to help transition your church from programs to a natural process for disciple-making, this book is for you.” - Ed Stetzer
“In this short but powerful book the weaknesses of modern discipleship are exposed. But, far from being a mere deconstruction of past failures, a new way is forged that honors both what the Scripture says and what the Spirit is doing in the 21st century.” - Darrin Patrick
