This document provides an overview of SOM-15A, a class on discipleship and disciple making. It examines the biblical concepts of "disciple" and "disciple making" with the goal of guiding the church to be and make disciples. It references Jesus' command in Matthew 28:19-20 to make disciples of all nations. The document then discusses various tools used in ministry, such as sermons, church buildings, seminaries, and suggests that while useful, they are just tools, and there may be better ways of accomplishing goals and communicating God's truth. It introduces the concept of switching frameworks to direct people's rational and emotional sides, and shape their environment to influence behavior in pursuing disciple

8. SERMON One tool: the monologue sermon No participation by the audience congregation Sermons have little or no impact (Anoba’ngsermon last week? 2 weeks ago? More?) Preaching is a tool Are there better ways of communicating God’s truth? Subukan mo: Wag mag-preach sa Sunday. Anokayaangmangyayari? Anoba’ngpwedenggawinnaiba?

12. SWITCH Direct the Rider (Rational Side) What looks like resistance is often a lack of clarity. So provide crystal clear direction. Follow bright spots Direct the rider Suggest ways to start behaving today (Think from “Eat Healthier” to “Buy 1% milk.”) [BELLS]

13. SWITCH Motivate the Elephant (Emotional Side) What looks like laziness is often exhaustion. The Rider can’t get his way by force for very long. So it critical that you engage people’s emotional side – get their elephants on the path & cooperative. SEED lockbox (Think “we are paying to much for stuff” to “see all these different gloves we are buying?”) Get people involved by modeling to them

14. SWITCH Shape the Path What looks like a people problem is often a situation problem. Simply altering the environment influences the way people behave, irrespective of their Rider & Elephant. (Think the size of movie popcorn buckets.) [Shut down your Sunday service]
