@WordandWitness That’s a great question. Another question is, how many churches no longer have staples on them and are functioning as some type of other businesses?

If you know what this building used to be, your brain probably just added the red shingles automatically. And you have at least one story of eating pizza there, maybe with your youth group! #nostalgia

It’s always a joy to join like-minded writers, creatives, and communicators at the EPA Christian Media Convention! This year, @ronhunter joined a panel discussion titled “The Age of AI: Discernment, Imagination, Responsibility” for the 200 in attendance in Nashville, TN.

There is a huge difference between contentment and satisfaction. Lifelong learners stay content, yet never fully satisfied until they are contributing something that makes a difference.

If the map on your phone had blue dots…

and each dot was a church leader who is passionate about ministry to and with families…

today you would see hundreds of those dots converging on Nashville…

I’m so pumped to speak at the D6 Family Min Conf! #d62026

@BrianDembo See you there friend

[Ron Hunter Jr., Ph.D. @ronhunter]

Our team has prayed, prepared, and looking so forward to kicking off the D6 Conference Southeast for the first time ever in Nashville this afternoon. Will I see you at Brentwood Baptist for a gathering of the best ministry leaders of the year? #discipleship #familyministry #youth

[Ron Hunter Jr., Ph.D. @ronhunter]

@richardaross @SWBTS Wow. What a compliment from Dr. Ross, a leading voice in discipleship and youth ministry.

Praying this book impacts ministry leaders and families for generations as it challenges them to think long-term, not settle for an instant, program-driven approach to discipleship.

[Richard Ross @richardaross]

I’ve chosen a new textbook for my classes @swbts

That’s the strongest affirmation I can give to “Backward Discipleship” by @ronhunter .
Define the disciple you wish to build, then craft your process to that specific end. Brilliant.

Grateful for this kind of affirmation from a leading voice in discipleship and youth ministry. Praying God will cascade Backward Discipleship into the lives of ministry leaders everywhere. @richardaross @D6Leader

It’s time to stop doing #discipleship the way we’ve always done it.
Start doing it backward.

Backward Discipleship releases today and is landing in mailboxes and on doorsteps everywhere.
Have you ordered your copy?

[Ron Hunter Jr., Ph.D. @ronhunter]

Some faith fades quietly over time.
Some exit after middle or high school.
That should concern every leader and parent.

Backward Discipleship offers a clearer path forward.

After studying what shapes lasting faith, five practices rose to the top.
Not complicated.
But rarely aligned.
Backward Discipleship puts them into a plan you can actually use.

We plan what we wear.
We plan careers.
We plan vacations.
We plan retirement.
Few plan for faith that lasts.
Backward Discipleship releases April 7.
Start with the end in mind.
