Jesus gave us an example to follow in discipleship. He led in such a way - connected to God, and connected to others - demonstrating that we are better together. This disciple-making process starts with a seed and ends with more seeds: Planted, Rooted, Growing, Producing Fruit, and Multiplying. From a seed planted to a seed multiplied.

God wants us to see ourselves as one being sent - sent to present the Gospel and to disciple. We are to remain in that cyclical process and create environments for others to connect, learn, grow, and do the same. It is in those spaces that we have the opportunity to live on mission, to disciple and be a spiritual coach for others.
