In Chapter 29 of *Are You Coachable?*, Larry Stirlen gives a blueprint for making discipleship the center of your church’s mission. It starts with communication. Every believer must understand the growth path: Outreach, Basic Training, Reproduction, and Multiplication.
This isn’t about adding another program—it’s about shifting the culture. The church becomes a training ground where every person is equipped and expected to reproduce spiritually.
You must give your people a visual game plan (like the Basic Training and Reproduction charts described in the book), use sermons, small groups, and ministry teams to reinforce the vision, and regularly re-communicate the four imperatives as part of your church’s DNA.
