I am excited to share with you something that I have been working on – a new book called The Revolutionary Disciple, written by myself and my friend Chad Harrington. We are releasing the book this September. In the book we lay out a path for navigating the Five Spheres of Discipleship in the hostile world we live in, and doing so in Jesus’ way – with humility.
I worked with my team to develop the five spheres framework for training disciples and disciple makers with leaders in our church and around the world. I have increasingly used it in recent years when I train leaders in our church and beyond because, more than any other framework, it transforms the way people view the scope of following Jesus.
Christians can easily compartmentalize their lives and limit Christ’s work to certain spheres, but in Ephesians we’re called to all humility. This means God gets total control. God wants us to love him with everything we are, in all areas of life. Through the five spheres framework, we’ve seen God open people’s eyes in powerful ways, and we believe God can use it powerfully in your life too.
In this book we encourage you to tool up with the four core actions of humility to gain a practical and scriptural approach for fighting Jesus’ way. Take action and take ground for your church, family—and the world around you.
Below is an excerpt from a post Chad Harrington wrote about The Revolutionary Disciple – you can learn more about what is included in the book by reading the full post here:

So Why Did We Write This Book?
We wrote The Revolutionary Disciple because God changed our lives through the scriptural message of the book. And we wanted to help people see the problem of pride and how it destroys discipleship at every level.
More importantly, though, we wanted this resource for disciples to provide a scriptural path and plan to help them make progress on their journey of discipleship. For example, we outline in Chapter 4 the “profile of a revolutionary disciple,” which describes the four core practices of a humble disciple.Then we walk with readers through each sphere as we explain what humility looks like.
So why did we write it? Because:
- We need this message.
- Disciples of Jesus need this message.
- Our churches need this message.
- And the world longs to see the fruit of this message.
Our message is not new but timeless, because it’s anchored in the Word of God. Yet while our core message is timeless, our applications and examples are timely because they address the current cultural shifts happening today.
We hope you’ll read it and use it with your church and discipleship groups, utilizing our free suite of group resources. In the end, we believe you’ll walk away challenged, encouraged, and filled with hope at the possibilities of growing in humility as you go deeper into the revolution that Jesus began during his life on earth.
