Daniel Im joins us to discuss his new book, No Silver Bullets, and five shifts you can make that will radically your ministry.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

  • “Discipleship is a direction, not a destination.”
  • Reading your Bible is critical to growing as a disciple.
  • Focus more on the function of community than the form.
  • Regardless of how we make our paycheck, we all have the same mission—to make disciples.

The five shifts we cover in this episode are:

  1. From Destination to Direction
  2. From Output to Input
  3. From Sage to Guide
  4. From Form to Function
  5. From Maturity to Missionary

    Here is my posted review on iTunes – This is a podcast that I look forward to listening to each week. The content is always great and very often makes me think a bit more about my responsibilities as a pastor and leading our congregation and volunteers. I especially enjoyed listening to this episode (#370) regarding discipleship with Daniel Im and the 5 shifts in ministry. I’ll look forward to listening to this again.

    This was a great podcast (#370). I am not on Itunes, so I do not know how to leave you a review there, but I was very impressed by your insight and your suggestions will make a big difference. I am looking forward to moving my church from destination to direction as we find ways to implement our Mission Statement (Make disciples). Thank you and please send me a copy of the book. Thank you.

    I left a review on iTunes. I hope you are still giving out books. As a replanter I think Daniel’s book will be helpful as we rethink what discipleship looks like in our congregation.
