Exploring disciple-making and church-planting movements across America.
John Wesley helped spark a movement that spread across England and beyond. But one of the keys to how he developed leaders was intentional accountability centered on becoming like Jesus.
In this episode, I look at Wesley’s Holy Club, the Methodist Bands, and how a grace-based approach to accountability helped develop leaders. I also explain why I believe character development must be the first step in leadership development, and why being a disciple who looks like Jesus is essential to multiply disciples who look like Jesus.

Movement Leaders are FAT
Peter denied Jesus three times. Thomas doubted. James and John fought over who was the greatest. But despite their imperfections, the Twelve consistently demonstrated that they were faithful, available, and teachable.
In this episode, I explore what it means to identify FAT leaders, how Jesus modeled this, and what practical characteristics distinguish potential movement leaders from people who never quite become multipliers.
If multiplication rises and falls on leadership development, then identifying the right people is the first step.
This post is part 3 in my series on leadership development. This post goes hand in glove with my last post (https://movementsinamerica.substack.com/p/if-you-want-to-be-a-movement-catalyst)on filtering to find leaders using precision harvesting, so check out that one if you haven’t already.

Did We Achieve Our Goal?
A year ago, we set a goal to identify 6–10 potential church planting multipliers in Raleigh-Durham by August 1, 2026. We just crossed that date. Did we achieve our goal?
In this episode, I reflect on what God has done.
