Other organizations (though with less clout, visibility, and resources) have been championing the cause of discipleship for years (e.g., T-NET). These groups have recognized the failure of the church (of any brand or model) to do a good job of teaching people to feed themselves. They even break down the process into 4 similar steps of discipleship.
The Reveal study does go farther in looking at the fourth step of discipleship as well as the "stagnant" segment. These insights build on and echo the results of other studies and promise to bring more attention to discipleship in the American church.
I pray for the application of these insights in all churches! Hide... Not just for mega-churches I serve as lead pastor in a church of 400 average weekend attendance.
