PODCAST RECAST - After Easter: A Simple Follow-Up Plan That Builds Real Disciples (w/ Vick Green) - Episode 345
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens after Easter matters. In this episode, Vick Green shares a practical approach to follow-up and discipleship for small and mid-size churches: clarify vision, build a “multiplication vehicle,” start with a few leaders, and aim for the 16% tipping point.
When vision is clear, it begins to shape decisions, focus energy, and help leaders say no to what doesn’t move the mission forward.
Vick also challenges how we think about discipleship. Growth doesn’t come from information alone—it’s formed through practice, relationships, and a shared vision that spreads through people, not just preaching. He outlines a simple pathway to begin building that kind of culture, even in smaller churches.
Vick Green (MDiv, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) is a pastor, coach, and consultant, and the CEO of Replicate Ministries, where he helps thousands of churches develop disciple-making cultures each year. He lives in the Nashville area with his wife, Sophie, and their three kids: Barrett, Lenna, and Allie Sage.
