Official synopsis Publisher
What makes the difference between a class that barely survives and one that thrives? Between a small group that fizzles and one that multiplies? Between a teacher who entertains for an hour and a teacher who actually changes lives?
The answer is simple: great teaching.
In Disciple-Making Teachers, Josh Hunt and Dr. Larry Mays offer a clear, practical, and encouraging roadmap for anyone called to teach God’s Word-whether in Sunday school, a small group, or the pulpit. This book isn’t about tips and tricks to hold attention. It’s about teaching that creates disciples. True disciples. People who walk out of class ready to live differently on Monday morning.
Drawing from years of ministry experience, Hunt shows that the number one factor in a growing class or church isn’t location, programs, or style-it’s teaching. Good teaching produces growth. Great teaching produces disciples. And the good news? Teaching can be learned. You don’t have to be Chuck Swindoll or Rick Warren. With focus, preparation, and the right approach, you can become a teacher who consistently delivers life-changing lessons.
Inside you’ll discover how to:
-
Understand what a disciple really is and how to measure spiritual growth.
-
Identify and overcome common barriers to learning.
-
Prepare lessons that are memorable, engaging, and transformative.
-
Use questions, stories, and discussions that help truth sink deep.
-
Create an atmosphere of love, grace, and accountability in your group.
-
Build a class or group that grows naturally-not through gimmicks, but through substance.
Whether you’re just starting out as a Bible teacher or have been leading for years, this book will inspire you to teach with fresh vision. You’ll see how teaching is more than presenting information-it’s about shaping hearts, building relationships, and calling people into a deeper walk with Christ.
If you’ve ever longed to see your class come alive, your group multiply, or your church grow in both numbers and maturity, Disciple-Making Teachers will show you how. It’s not about entertaining for an hour on Sunday. It’s about making disciples who love God, love people, and change the world.
