Empower by Modeling
Scripture
Jesus’ ministry revolved around 12 very ordinary young men called disciples. He called each of them by name with a simple invitation: “Follow Me.” And they had the privilege of being with Him constantly (Mark 3:14). They observed His way of life and His teachings. Jesus was and still is the ultimate model.
Paul’s ministry was the same. Paul modeled what it looked like to live a life devoted to serving the Lord. His life reflected the ways of Jesus so much that he was able to say, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1).
As you begin empowering others in their E3 discipleship journey, realize that much of their training has already been received as they’ve watched you do it with them. Begin with the intent to multiply and ensure everything you do is reproducible. You’ve been using E3 to lead them in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. It’s now time for them to take what they’ve heard and seen from you and pass it on to others (2 Timothy 2:2).
