YOUR HOME AS A WEAPON FOR THE GOSPEL

Course Overview

Where does the majority of discipleship take place?

For many people, “home” (in whatever form it comes) is a place for privacy, retreat, and escape. But what if God meant something different — something better — in giving us our homes?

Dhati & Angie Lewis (Blueprint Church, Atlanta) have five kids and have had people live with them for most of their marriage. They have seen the high points and low points of biblical hospitality. And they want to challenge you to reframe your view of “home,” into a counter-cultural tool the sake of the kingdom.

In this three-session Digital Course, the Lewises share from their heard-earned wisdom and experience, how every home can be a weapon for hospitality in general, for discipling kids, and for discipling others… in short, your home can be a weapon for the gospel!

Each session involves a brief training video, as well as follow-up work to make the content personal and tangible. Certainly a course like this cannot cover every aspect of thriving in ministry, but The Equipping Group’s hope is that it serves you well, and helps grow your hospitality and discipleship efforts…which often take place on your couch, in your yard, and at your home.

We believe in groups of people being equipped together — that’s even inherent in our organization’s name! When you purchase this course, we hope you’ll engage it with others: a spouse, potential church planting teammates, a sending church, and/or staff.

And we never want finances to prohibit you from being equipped. Our “pay-what-you-can” policy invites you to apply for a scholarship if you can’t afford the price of the course. It’s our honor to serve you as you consider the realities of discipleship in and from your home.

SESSION ONE

A Weapon for Hospitality

In our busy & individualistic lives, what does it look like to view our houses, possessions, and lives in a counter-cultural way? Rather than merely seeing our homes as a place of retreat or self-focus, Dhati and Angie Lewis share from some of their own experiences, some simple but stretching ways they open their table, home, and family to others, for the sake of the gospel. They help us fight cultural norms and challenge us to create spaces for real relationships and gospel restoration.
