Ralph Moore on Multiplying Churches and Disciple Making Movements | Disciple Makers Podcast

In this episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, we are joined by Ralph Moore, a longtime friend of Discipleship.org and a pioneer in church multiplication. Ralph discusses the journey of planting over 2,600 churches globally through organic disciple-making movements that started in North America, specifically focusing on his experiences in Southern California and Hawaii. He shares insights into the beauty of organic Holy Spirit-led movements, the importance of equipping church members for ministry, and practical advice for those eager to embark on similar paths. Ralph also talks about his influential book 'Making Disciples' and offers a wealth of free resources on his website. Join us as Ralph encourages listeners to step out, build authentic relationships, and become disciple-makers in their own communities.
