There are four factors — our beliefs, our skills, our values, and our habits — which shape everything about our lives as modern-day followers of Jesus. When it comes to becoming a fruitful and reproducing GOSPEL-SHARING disciple of Jesus, it is crucial that our common but crippling ‘fear of man’ be replaced (in our beliefs) by a godly reverence for the Lord and a deep burden for the lost. But once this ‘belief-shift‘ has occurred, there are three more areas that must be addressed. In order for a person to live out a consistent lifestyle of sharing the gospel with the lost — the additional factors of missing skills – and thus uncultivated values – as well as absent habits must also be dealt with in a loving, patient, and accountable manner. All four of these areas of growth must be addressed in any balanced disciple making training process.
