    180: Disciple-Making Spaces
    In order to return to disciple-making, we must make a shift from attending to attaching. Merely attending events and meetings will never develop disciple-making disciples. We need to lead people to attach to God and others in significant, transformative ways. Working from an understanding of social spaces, Jeff Vanderstelt looks at the ministry of Jesus and discerns five key spaces that He engaged very intentionally. This episode will help you discern where you are strong and where you might need to grow in your own disciple-making strategy.
