Bill Hull's passion is to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in 20 years of pastoring and the authorship of many books. Two of his more important books, Jesus Christ Disciple Maker, and The Disciple Making Pastor, have both celebrated 20 years in print. Add his third in the popular trilogy, The Disciple Making Church, and you have a new paradigm for disciple making.

"The problem is not only to win souls, but to save minds. If you win the whole world and lose the mind of the world, you will soon discover you have not won the world. Indeed, it may turn out you have actually lost the world” (Charles Malik). We have not only helped make God optional, but we have also made being a disciple optional. Conversion and discipleship have been separated from each other. We will review 8 reasons our discipleship has failed and the 6 gospels that are being taught and their results: the gospel you preach determines the disciples you make. While more churches, prayer, Bible, money, etc. are important, we should begin with a fundamental evaluation of our understanding of the gospel and a disciple which are the basis for setting proper expectations for our people.
