Join us again as Steve Bremner talks with missionary Mark Burgess about the necessity of discipleship, but also the practicalities. An important point that seemed to be emphasized is that you influence and teach people in your area of influence, and should not exclude yourself because you’re not a "clergy member". We are ALL called to make disciples!
Is the church service the most important thing a pastor should be focused on? What about his or her sermon? Did Jesus teach his disciples they must have a splashy web page on the internet? How does accountability fit into the role of being discipled and making disciples? Is it possible to be discipled by the pastor of a large mega church through media such as internet and books? Listen and be challenged as we discuss these and other points that came up in the discussion.

This week we change gears again and interview Mark Burgess. Mark and his wife Anna and kids have been living in Peru for a few years now, and currently are responsible for upwards of 70 people actively being discipled in their cell churches in Chorillios, located on the Pacific coast of Peru. We talk about what it is to be making disciples and building missional communities, and why the Great Commission is not just a call to make converts, but disciples.
