NCLS RESEARCH //Gender Profiles 2013
“The typical U.S. Congregation draws an adult crowd that’s 61% female,
39% male. This gender gap shows up in all age categories.”
BARNA // The Gallup Organization
“For every 10 men in the church:• 9 will have kids who leave the
church• 8 will not find their jobs satisfying• 6 will pay the monthly minimum on
their credit cards• 5 will have a serious issue with porn
• 4 will get divorced.”
LIFEWAY RESEARCH // Uncovering Reasons 18 to 22 year old drop out of Church
“As many as 70% of the boys who are being raised in church will abandon it by their 20th birthday. Many of these
boys will never return.”
ONETWO
THREE• Lack of real Discipleship.
THE TIDAL SURGE //
DEFINE THE WORD // Discipleship
“A disciple is a student or adherent -- Jesus Christ.”
DEFINE THE WORD // Discipleship
“A disciple is a student or adherent -- Jesus Christ.”
Thus discipleship is an intentional process.
DEFINE THE WORD // Discipleship
“Jesus’ plan to disciple his 12 was methodical, intentional, and
purposeful. He entered the world with the understanding that the 12 were the linchpin to the next generation.”
THE PLAN // Matthew 28 Commission
18 “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”
DEFINE THE WORD // Discipleship
“Our Lord's last command was not, "Go and make decisions for Christ" but rather "Go and make disciples.”
ARE WE DISCIPLING?

ARE WE DISCIPLING? // ABS, on The State of the Bible, 2014
“A majority of U.S. adults (81%) said they consider themselves highly,
moderately or somewhat knowledgeable about the Bible. Yet less than half (43%) were able to name the first five books of the
Bible.”
DALLAS WILLARD // USC
“Non-discipleship is the elephant in the church; it is not the many moral
failures, financial abuses or the amazing similarity between
Christians and non-Christians. These are only the effects of the underlying
problem.”
MICHAEL RAMSDEN // Ravi Zacharias Ministries
““The American church is dying, not from lack of effective evangelism, nor from lack of resources, but from lack
of effective discipleship.”

CHRISTIAN MEN BEING “DISCIPLED” //
RESOLUTE // Vince Miller
The problem is not “all the bad things men are doing” but rather “the kind of men we are developing,” because it us who Jesus Christ called to make
disciples.
RESOLUTE // Vince Miller
“Men want the same thing today as they wanted in the first century – a
rabbi to teach them. Yet they cannot find one.”
ONE• The challenges facing the church.
TWO• Men are looking for something they
are not finding.
THREE• Lack of real discipleship.
