The State of Discipleship

What is the current state of discipleship in the Church? How is it defined and understood? what are the hallmarks of transformative discipleship, and how do we measure its outcomes? What resources and models are necessary for effective discipleship in the 21st century?With these questions in mind, The Navigators commissioned Barn Group to design a comprehensive, multi-phase study of churches, leaders and Christian adults. The State of Discipleship is the culmination of Barna's research and analysis.Making disciples is an imperative delivered by Jesus in the Great Commission. The State of Discipleship evaluates how effectively the Church is carrying out that command and where there is need for better models or mindsets—or both.
