Jesus spent three and a half years teaching and ministering, but there was one key focus of his time and efforts—intentionally discipling a small group of twelve people. Today, Jesus commands us to “go and make disciples,” and he has empowered us by sending the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide us. But it still takes intentional focus and effort to obey the commands of Jesus.

Sadly, as churches and their leaders relentlessly pursue the next new idea that will somehow capture the attention of the spiritually lost, very few Christians know how to walk out the day-to-day lifestyle of intentional disciple making. This book is not about the latest and newest fads—instead, it is a guidebook to focus intentionally on learning the methodology Jesus modeled for us.

Drawing from decades of experience making disciples, Brandon Guindon equips you by introducing eight principles of disciple making and showing you how to apply them in your own life. Filled with personal stories of success and failure in discipling relationships along with questions and practical exercises, Intentional equips believers to learn and then consistently live out the values that Jesus modeled, while overcoming the obstacles that prevent us from imitating Christ.
