The Disciples Made Podcast

Disciple multiplication starts before strategy—it starts with the leader. Jason Phelps and Brian Phipps explore how daily habits, abiding with Jesus, and repeated obedience shape who we become and what we reproduce in others. Discover why preaching cannot replace personal rhythms and how individual transformation eventually becomes a multiplying culture.

What is supposed to happen inside a person because they participated in your ministry? In this episode, Brian Phipps and Jason Phelps explore the shift from designing church environments people simply attend to designing intentional environments that actually form disciples. Discover why information alone does not produce transformation, how Character × Calling creates meaningful impact, and why churches need clear pathways that move people from exploring Jesus to developing as disciples and influencing others.

Before you change your church’s programs, clarify the person you’re trying to form. Jason and Brian kick off Designing for Multiplication with vision before strategy before tactics—and explain how character, calling, and a few transformed leaders can begin reshaping a church’s culture.

What if your church is getting exactly the results it was designed to get? In this Season 6 trailer, Jason Phelps and Brian Phipps introduce Designing for Multiplication—a practical season about creating the systems, habits, environments, and leadership pathways that actually produce multiplying disciples. If you’re ready to move from “something needs to change” to “what do we build now?” this season is for you.

Brian Phipps sits down with Vick Green, CEO of Replicate Ministries, to explore why church leaders often want the power of disciple multiplication but struggle to embrace its pace. They discuss movement readiness, the difference between engagement and empowerment, and why lasting multiplication requires patient investment in people, cultural clarity, and a commitment to transformation over activity.
