Ordinary Discussions with Jeremy McCommons

Today we’re talking about the value of intentional relationships—a key part of our discipleship process. Every group that launches doesn’t just meet to study Scripture; they build real relationships by spending time together outside the sessions. In this episode, we’ll break down how to do that in simple, natural ways that lead to genuine connection.Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

Don't just lead a group and then do a hard stop! Stay connected, develop more intentional relationships, do mission together, and keep the first things first. Launch an OC Group. They are independently run by past group participants or leaders and exist to keep the disciple-making movement an ongoing reality. How frequently groups meet are up to each facilitator. Meet monthly, bi-weekly, or whatever works best for each group. Groups are easy to execute, easy to join, and highly reproducible. Because each meeting stands alone, if you miss a meet-up, you won’t be behind. Rotating facilitators is encouraged to keep these groups manageable and ongoing.

In light of recent events, we thought it was important as an organization to share our thoughts. In this episode we will reflect on Charlie Kirk, and some comments made by Erika Kirk at his funeral. The aftermath of Charlie’s death has seen a massive increase in church attendance, and a generally increased interest in Christianity. As disciples who make disciples, how we respond in this time is crucial.Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

We speak with them regularly. They also feel the pressure of these trends around them and the impact on their congregations.We don’t believe this can be course-corrected unless we start talking about it—and we’re committed to doing so in a healthy, loving way that calls the church to greater purpose, purity, and impact.Let us know your thoughts.Let’s make disciples who make disciples.You can find the full documentary The Religion Business here: https://www.thereligionbusiness.com/

Recently, Jeremy began shifting toward one-on-one discipleship, and he loves it! Here's the deal: it seems small group culture and leadership talks have led many to feel that small-scale or one-on-one discipleship is inefficient or low-impact, but we're pushing back against this mindset and emphasis. Just make disciples. Helping one person grow in their relationship with Jesus is worth it! Be faithful with one or even more, but don't settle for apathy or a low-challenge, low-invitation culture.
