On a coaching call the other day I was using 3DM‘s Heptagon tool to help some leaders evaluate the spiritual health of their communities. A campus pastor for a multi-site church told me this:
We know how to add new campuses on a macro scale, so there’s a lot of movement in our church, but we don’t know how to reproduce on a micro scale, so we really don’t have much reproduction.
As is my wont, I started thinking about this and think it has some great implications for those of us who are trying to cultivate multiplying movements of discipleship and mission. The church in question knew how to create a new campus, but is still learning how to reproduce disciples. The difference is kind of like the difference between mass producing a statue and reproducing a human being.
