Discipleship doesn’t happen by accident. And it doesn’t happen best in a classroom or a pew. It happens in groups.

Disciplemaking Groups is your practical guide to leading Bible study groups that actually change lives. If you’ve ever felt like your small group was going through the motions—talking about Scripture but not living it—this book will show you a better way.

At the heart of true spiritual transformation are six simple, powerful practices. Together, they spell the word LISTEN:

• Listening first – Create a culture where people feel truly heard, not just managed.

• Inquiring with curiosity – Learn the art of asking the kinds of questions that open hearts and invite change.

• Serving one another and the world – Discover how acts of love deepen community and form disciples.

• Telling the truth in love – Speak with grace and honesty so that blind spots become growth spots.

• Eating together – Use meals and hospitality to build trust and turn strangers into spiritual family.

• Nourishing yourself on the Word – Anchor your group in Scripture so truth becomes transformation.

Filled with true stories, biblical insights, proven strategies, and research-based wisdom, Disciplemaking Groups will show you how ordinary groups can become disciplemaking movements—without needing a seminary degree or a perfect personality.

Whether you're a group leader, a pastor, or a passionate believer who longs to see lives changed, this book offers the blueprint for making disciples in the most Jesus-shaped way: through community.
