When you think about making a difference for God, do you feel overwhelmed? Many women wonder if they know enough or are equipped to lead. In Lesson 4 of Making Radical Disciples, Daniel B. Lancaster gently reminds us: Jesus calls ordinary people to train others—just as He did.
The Power of Simple, Reproducible Training
Jesus taught His followers in ways they could easily share with others. He broke down deep truths into simple stories, clear steps, and memorable actions. This is the key to spiritual multiplication—training that anyone can repeat.
Lancaster encourages us to shift from just sharing knowledge to building new trainers. When we teach in ways that others can pass on, our impact multiplies far beyond our own circle.
Start With What You Have, Where You Are
You don’t need special credentials to train others. Start with what you know—one story, one lesson, or one step of faith. Share it with a friend, your child, or your small group. Encourage them to practice it, and then pass it on.
Jesus modeled this with His disciples:
- He taught them how to pray, then sent them to teach others.
He showed them how to serve, then invited them to do the same.
He equipped them, step by step, for real-life ministry.
Practical Steps for Effective Training
Lancaster’s approach is simple:
Model: Show others how to follow Jesus by your example.
Assist: Walk alongside them as they try it for themselves.
Watch: Give them space to grow, encouraging their efforts.
Launch: Celebrate as they begin training others, too.
Every woman can play a part in this chain of transformation. When you share, model, and encourage, you become part of God’s bigger plan.
Why Training Matters
Teaching is good, but training changes lives. Jesus didn’t just inform; He transformed—equipping His followers to carry His message across the world. When we train others, our faith doesn’t stop with us; it multiplies into the next generation.
The Heart of Multiplication
You might be just one person, but you can have a ripple effect—changing homes, neighborhoods, even nations. God is not looking for perfection, just willingness. Take the first step today: train one, so they can train another.
