What's the difference between church growth and real discipleship? Pastor Bob Reed found out the hard way—even as his Florida church was thriving numerically, he realized something was missing. That realization led him on a journey that would reshape his entire approach to ministry.
Now leading CyLife Church in Texas, Bob shares how he moved from stage-focused ministry to relational discipleship, why he had to confess to his congregation that his relationship with Jesus had become "professional," and what it actually takes to create a culture of disciple-making.
This is a conversation about getting honest with yourself, your calling, and what success really means in ministry.
