Hi Reader,
What if the way most churches approach discipleship is fundamentally incomplete?
Rick Warren is back on the podcast, and in this rare, unfiltered conversation, he shares why 99% of churches don’t have a plan to move people from “come and see” to “come and die.”
That’s a sobering challenge for any of us leading in the church today.
Rick and I dive into:
👉 Why most churches stall at “come and see”
👉 The shift of the global church to the Southern Hemisphere (and what it means for the future)
👉 The call American churches need to hear right now
This long-form interview goes way beyond sound bites. It’s a fire hose of wisdom from one of the most influential leaders of our time. Rick’s vision for discipleship, mission, and leadership is both inspiring and convicting.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to develop true disciples—and not just attenders—you won’t want to miss this.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
