Why You'll Love this book

  • Jesus was very intentional and He was constantly making positive, life changing, and eternal impacts on people’s lives. When Jesus interacted with a person, it became a monumental experience that would forever alter how that person viewed God, eternity, and life.

  • In today's busy world, people are hungry to live a rich and authentic life within the context of vibrant relationships. In addition, the people of this world are desperately looking for wonder and inspiration. They know that life and people can be both fascinating and amazing, but yet their everyday lives seem quite ordinary and monotonous.

  • The beauty of knowing God and being a Christian, however, is that every day is a new and exciting adventure. By following Jesus and His example of intentionally touching people's lives and making disciples, we can help impart into people's lives the love, hope, and truth that will transform, heal, and empower them to become everything God has created them to be.

  • Whether you're a Pastor, a small group leader, or simply a Christian trying to live your life to please God, this book will inspire, challenge, and equip you to see, love, and disciple others with the eyes and heart of God.

Making Disciples & Leading Small Groups

  • Rev. Robby Gallaty  |  Pastor of Long Hollow Bapist Church

    Author of Growing Up, and How to Be a Disciple Who Makes Disciples.


    "Right out the gate, the reader is keenly aware that Russ is a practitioner of discipleship, not just a preacher. He writes from the overflow of years of investing in others. His book is filled with practical topics such as 'Moving Beyond Preaching and Teaching,' 'Passing the Baton,' and 'Carrying Others Burdens,' to name a few. If you are looking for a resource to use when discipling a new believer or undiscipled disciple of Christ, 'Making Disciples and Leading Small Groups' will serve you well."
