6 Guys... and Counting

My friend Matt Chandler at the Village church in Texas has a great plan for discipleship.  He takes three guys and pours his life into them for a year, and after that year, he hopes that they are then ready to go and do the same for someone else.  His staff goes through the discipleship process, they too disciple men, and after a few years, the laws of compounding interest begin to take place, and multiplication of disciples starts to happen.  After 6 years, that church is full of discipled guys.  

It's really no different than what Jesus did.  He took 12 guys, and although he occasionally preached to thousands, he really walked through life with the Twelve.  After being discipled, those guys took the message of the Gospel and they took it to the world, a few men at a time.  That is our dream at ethos church... that instead of a bunch of groups sprouting up all over the place in hopes of community happening, we want discipleship groups sprouting up all over the place, with the hopes of life transformation happening. 

We believe, at our core, in discipleship, and we hope that the men's group, which is starting up with 6 guys this coming Monday night, will be the beginning of a new ethos... a new way of thinking about God in our community.
