As You Go: Turning Everyday Moments into Eternal Impact
If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to start making disciples, you’ll never begin. The truth is, Jesus never told us to add disciple-making to our schedules—He told us to make it our lifestyle. “Go therefore and make disciples” wasn’t a call for a few professionals; it was a call for every believer to live with purpose as they go through life.
Most of us picture disciple-making as something that happens in a classroom or a church program. But for Jesus, it looked like walking, eating, listening, and sharing life with people. He discipled through everyday conversations and real relationships. That’s where transformation happens—in ordinary moments, through intentional people.
Think about your week. You’ll spend hours at work, on the field, in the carpool line, or around the dinner table. Those are not distractions from your mission; they are your mission. That coworker who always seems closed off? Pray for an open door. That classmate who keeps asking deep questions? Invite them to coffee. That child who watches your every reaction? Show them what grace looks like when you fail and forgiveness when they do.
The problem for many of us isn’t that we don’t care—it’s that we’re trying to live the mission in our own strength. We burn out because we forget that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is working in us. Paul said he “toiled and struggled with all His energy that He powerfully works within me.” That’s the secret to lasting ministry—Christ’s energy in our weakness.
So here’s the question: Who are you helping grow in Christ right now? Not who do you intend to reach, but who are you actually walking with? Discipleship is slow, often unseen work—but that’s how God grows His kingdom: one conversation, one prayer, one act of obedience at a time.
If you want to see your faith come alive, stop measuring success by attendance or activity. Start measuring it by maturity—your own and the people you influence. Be a voice of truth when someone is drifting. Be a model of grace when someone stumbles. Be a friend who walks with others toward Jesus, not just around Him.
As you go this week, remember: You’re not just living your story—you’re part of His.
And nothing done for Jesus is ever wasted.
