GOING LIVE ONLINE FEB 22 & 29 or WATCH LATER
Making Disciples, Not Decisions! is a LIVE ONLINE Term 3 2024 Course held virtually on Zoom on Two Thursday's: Feb 22 & 29 from 7:00–9:30pm EST. Once you register for this course, log into your MSI account, choose this course in 'My Courses', and you will find the Zoom link in the Course Contents along with all the course materials as they are shared.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Evangelicals and Messianic believers are heirs to a two-stage revivalist culture. Stage One, evangelize for “decisions for Christ” (i.e., get people saved), and Stage Two, get people discipled (i.e., get them well-indoctrinated, trained, and accommodated to your particular religious culture).
Did Yeshua send us out to get people to bow their heads and accept him as their personal savior? Is this the cake upon which discipleship is but the desirable subsequent icing?
In this course, Dr. Dauermann explores these questions and casts a different vision, while exploring mechanisms for a holistic view and practice of evangelism and discipleship. He relates these to Jewish and Christian precedent, pointing us to a sense of mission more in keeping with divine intent and apostolic understanding.
Dr. Dauermann will also introduce us to his discipling resource, Eat This Book: Strength For Your Journey With the Jewish Jesus.
What is discipleship, and what is not discipleship? And what should we be doing about it? These questions truly do matter, so do register today for this important course.

Rabbi Stuart Dauermann
Rabbi Stuart Dauermann holds a PhD in Intercultural Studies. A multi-media communicator, he focuses on increasing understanding and improving communication at the intersection where the Jewish and Christian worlds encounter each other and the Jewish Jesus. He has a Messianic Jewish vision for serving the Jewish people's tomorrow, today.
His doctoral dissertation, The Rabbi as a Surrogate Priest, explores the evolution of the rabbinic role, identifying sixteen functions performed by rabbis, and finding their roots in the roles of priests and Levites in First and Second Temple Judaism. In 2017, he published Converging Destinies: Jews, Christians, and the Mission of God, exploring the complementary roles of the Jewish and Christian worlds in the purposes of the God of Israel, and how we should live together accountable to Him.
