Would this kind of intentional investment help you discover a new kind of Christian purpose and spiritual legacy?

As Christians, we should all participate in spiritual leadership by seeking to make spiritual investment in the lives closest to us. It’s time for us to move away from institutionalized, Sunday morning faith and toward a more relationally driven, culturally friendly, and doable approach to disciple-making.

Small-Batch Disciplemaking gives you the chance to be discipled in a way that affects every part of your life. Irini Fambro, PhD, MDiv, owner of Intelligent Leadership We crave change! Not just theoretical change but real, practical, life-altering change. There is no more powerful way to awaken change within the church, within our souls, and within our neighborhoods than the work of apprenticeship. Dave Sunde has written a beautifully eloquent but practical primer on how to apprentice ordinary Christians to become change agents in the world. Small-Batch Disciplemaking is bathed in the genuine relational and spiritual mechanics of how to pass on the life of Christ to another. Get this resource in your hands and in your heart―it can create ripple effects that will change everything! Dan White Jr., author of Love Over Fear, coauthor of The Church as Movement In this book, Dave Sunde puts his finger on what makes faith work (and what is missing in so many churches and ministries). Far too often, we’ve made Christianity a cognitive experience but not a life experience. We don’t go deep because we don’t practice. We believe but we don’t apprentice. Be warned: If you heed the big ideas in this book, you will be transformed. I highly recommend it. Dr. Tim Elmore, CEO and founder of Growing Leaders, author of A New Kind of Diversity, coauthor of Generation Z Unfiltered Want to grow in your faith?

I’ve known David Sunde for over twenty-five years, and I’m thrilled he is finally sharing his insights and experiences with the world! This field guide will be a resource you look to again and again as you journey with Jesus and help others do the same. Kurt Johnston, pastor of NextGen Ministries at Saddleback Church Sunde’s book is a breath of fresh air. It walks alongside us, showing us a better way. The Western church is obsessed with numbers and programs, but Dave helps us see the importance of really doing life together. I mean, really. No performance. No lights. No show. Just simply what it looks like to follow Jesus together. Dave is the right person to write this book as it is the life he leads, the way he is. I highly recommend this book and the helpful brilliance in its pages. Tyrone Wells, recording artist with over 60 million Spotify streams and a #1 singer-songwriter album on iTunes Small-Batch Disciplemaking calls us to reground ourselves in the ancient tenets of our faith, not in the sense of abstract theology but in core practices of transformational living. This writing is infused with the wisdom hard-won from his years of experience as a follower of Jesus and as a guide to many seeking to do the same. This book is a much-needed practical guide and theology of the church reimagined around the core practices of our faith. If you hunger for more in your spiritual life, this is a must-read.
