How to Make Disciples Who Make Disciples with Dr. Carl Williamson

Empowering Disciple Makers: Dr. Carl Williamson on Multiplying Faith

In this episode, Dr. Carl Williamson shares his unique approach to disciple making, which involves creating small, closely-knit disciple making groups. Born into a missionary family, Dr. Williamson's experiences in Sweden and New Jersey have shaped his passion for spreading the teachings of Jesus. He discusses the importance of a clear definition of a disciple, based on Matthew 4:19, and outlines a practical, reproducible model for disciple making. By focusing on principles such as prayer, community, and living out Jesus' rhythms, Dr. Williamson empowers students and church members to take ownership of their faith journey. Join us to learn about the transformative power of this approach and how it's fostering a new wave of discipleship at Harding University and beyond.
