017: Kingdom Contours • Discipleship and Disciple-making
In this episode of the 100Movements podcast, Brian Johnson sits down again with Jeremy and Monica Chambers (authors of Kingdom Contours) to talk about discipleship that actually changes people. Not discipleship as a program, a class, or “doing more,” but discipleship as becoming—learning to live the way Jesus lived, for the reasons Jesus lived that way.
“Discipleship isn’t doing a bunch of things—it’s becoming the kind of person who would do what Jesus did, for the reasons Jesus did them.”

If you’ve ever felt like discipleship got reduced to content or church activity, this conversation is a reset. It brings us back to apprenticeship, life-on-life formation, and community that helps us practice the “one anothers” in the real world.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
Why discipleship is about becoming, not just doing
How Jesus’ commands assume we’re being changed into a new kind of person
Why discipleship can’t happen in isolation—and why community is part of the method
A practical rhythm you can try with your group: In / Out / Up
A simple reframe: the healthiest mission flows from abiding, not pressure
