DMM: Phase 1
Moving from Disciple-Maker to Disciple-Multiplier.
BOOK READING: Hero Maker by Dave Ferguson
Hero Maker is a wonderful book that provides inspiration and instruction to move from being "The Hero" in your disciple-making efforts to becoming a "Hero Maker." This is the goal of this Year One Cohort.
You will see from the many stories in Hero Maker, the author wrote the book with church staff leaders in mind. If you are on a church staff, these stories will most likely resonate with you. If you are not on a church staff, the stories may not be a match for your particular ministry, but as a disciple-maker you are still a leader in Jesus' church. Hero Maker will help you establish a mindset for multiplication.

DMM: Phase 2
Moving from Disciple-Multiplier to Disciple-Making Catalyst.
BOOK READING: Ready, Set, Grow! by Scott Wilson
Ready, Set, Grow! is a story of a pastor's three year journey of developing his staff members to grow his church. The pastor set a goal to turn his "heroes" into multiplying "Hero Makers."
Ready, Set, Grow! will introduce you to some new language for leadership development. Instead of the word "Hero," this author uses the word "Worker." Instead of the word "Hero-Maker," this author uses "Equipper." In fitting with the goal of helping you develop four generations of disciples, you need a third tier of leadership, and the author uses a familiar word... "Multiplier."
This book provides vulnerable details of the pastor's three year journey. The stories of victory and failure deliver invaluable insights for disciple-makers. If you are on a church staff, the stories in the book may resonate with you and your context. If you are not on a church staff, the stories may not match your context, but you can apply the framework anywhere... especially to make disciples.
How is Phase 2 Different than Phase 1?
The DNA and monthly format are the same as Phase 1. The focus, and therefore the supplemental reading, are different.
In Phase 1 the focus was on being successful with page one of your Movement Map; identifying and developing your first round of new leaders. In Phase 2 the focus is on being successful with page two of your Movement Map; helping your new leaders identify and develop their first round of new leaders while you do the same in your group..

DMM: Phase 3
Securing a Movement of Disciple-Making.
BOOK READING: The Starfish & The Spirit by Rob Wegner & Lance Ford and In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen
The Starfish and the Spirit invites you to reimagine what it means to be the church. The book provides a "behind the curtain" view of how churches can operate. It candidly highlights the inherent limitations of "Spider," or centralized churches. In contrast, it heralds the unlimited potential of well-run "Starfish" churches. The Starfish and the Spirit is a practical playbook for multiplying disciples. Regardless of your church context, you will be equipped and challenged.
In the Name of Jesus is a classic book on the nature of spiritual leadership. Nouwen's perspective on leadership will remind us that obedience is greater than competence.
How is Phase 3 Different than Phase 2?
In Phases 1 & 2 the focus was on being successful with pages one and two of your Movement Map; identifying and developing two generations of leaders in your wake. In Phase 3, the goal is to be successful with page three of your Movement Map; securing a movement of disciple-making by leading your leaders to multiply leaders into the fourth generation.
