Have You Ever Struggled with Discipleship?
- Does your team have a simple, solid plan for making followers?
- Do you struggle to get people to that next, deeper place?
- Is there not enough of you to go around?
- Do you long for more than Bible classes and supper clubs?
- Do you feel like you are reinventing the wheel, again?
- Does discipleship make your brain hurt?
Make self-sustaining, self replicating followers
in a simple, repeatable way!
I struggled for years to make a few disciples using everything from mentoring to retreats to one-on-one discipleship. Numerically, I was getting nowhere and the “disciples” I made didn’t fare too well on their own. I was frustrated! I got into this game to transform lives and all I was doing was running a church.
Now, we have eight generations of self-sustaining, self-replicating disciples. In January, we will have nine.
What did I do? I leveraged the Sustainable Discipleship Framework to reach hundreds instead of a few (you can see my current stats here). And, ninety percent of those disciples continue to live an abundant life following God and making disciples. The movement is going exponential!
We would love to help you and share what God has shown us!

Everything God has taught us
that led to our success in disciple-making!
Sustainable Discipleship is contagious and successful!
These are my, Doug’s, stats. But every church, every pastor, using the Framework has waiting lists because their people see the value as other disciples succeed. And, disciple makers are astonished at how easy it is to make disciples.
Ninety-percent of the disciples made using this simple, repeatable model are still going strong seven years later. Yes, a 90% success rate – done simply.
We’d love to share our success with you.
“Sustainable Discipleship is a different disciple-making framework that makes disciples the hero of their story.”
What People are Saying...
Making followers is the only thing Jesus told us to do.

FAQs
Should I take attend the live or virtual workshop?
That's a tough question. The live workshops have such great interaction and exponential learning because of the varied participants. Plus, you get real-time answers from our team about your situation. But, the virtual saves money and allows convenience. Most of our global folks take the virtual. If you go virtual, definitely join a coaching group.
How much does it cost?
You decide! We are committed to sharing what God has shown us. Live workshops costs us about $495/person to cover the support staff, materials, and to provide a few scholarships for smaller churches. The virtual workshop costs about $195 per person. But, we leave it up to you. If funds are really tight, shoot for $117 (the hard costs). If you can support those who make this possible, add a few hundred/person. If God has blessed you, sow a seed, help others attend, support your workshop leader, and help us spread the joy and success. No matter what, you pick your price! Technology limits the pick your price logic for the Virtual Workshop. If you need a coupon, contact us!
Are there scholarships for travel, food, etc?
Yes. We love helping smaller church leaders and bi-vocational pastors when God blesses us through those who have been blessed. We even have a network of host homes for the conferences in Atlanta. You get to set your price for the live workshops but if you need more help email our team.
What is the difference between the content in the Workshop and the How To Make Disciples book?
Think of it as the difference between reading a textbook and taking a lab with a college professor. The workshops bring Sustainable Discipleship to life, give you hands-on help developing your plan, and give you access to the latest data, successes, and failures.
What resources do I get with the Workshop?
You get a free print or digital copy of How to Make Disciples, a 40-page workbook, a complete disciple-making plan for your church, 50 disciple assessment sheets, a free copy of Well Made (Doug's latest breakout book), an opening dinner, and continental breakfasts. And, of course, you get a system that will get you more disciples that make disciples with a 90% success rate.
What is the schedule?
The Live Workshop is a two-day experience beginning at 9am and ending around 4pm. We provide continental breakfasts and snacks both days. When Doug can, he and Amber host one dinner at their house. You can stay on for a half-day after the workshop to work one on one to develop your customized plan.
The Virtual Workshop, of course, is your schedule!
Where is the workshop held?
The Live Workshops are held in the community space at Three Taverns Church in metro-Atlanta (about 25 miles north of the airport, a 45-minute drive). You can find us at 3575 Acworth Due West Road, Acworth, Ga. 30101, or use this map.
What are the nearest hotels?
The workshop will be held in the community space at Three Taverns Church. You can see hotels on this map. We have a special rate at the Hampton Inn & Fairfield Inn in Acworth.
Is Sustainable Discipleship a non-profit?
Absolutely! Sustainable Discipleship is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) religious non-profit that operates as a business-for-mission model, striving to be self-sufficient. You can help us continue our research, development, testing, writing, and sharing by sowing financial gifts above and beyond the actual costs of ministry.
