130 - "That's Not True" — Why Discipleship Alone Is Not the Purpose of NAMS - 28th April, 2026

Part 4 of the NAMS Rule & Customary Order Series"That's Not True" — Why Discipleship Alone Is Not the Purpose of NAMS | Anglican Church Planting PodcastMany NAMS companions have come to believe the purpose of the society is to make disciples. In episode 130, Jon Shuler says plainly: that's not true. The purpose of NAMS is to plant new Great Commission congregations — and you cannot plant what you don't understand. Turning to Article III of the 2017 NAMS Rule, Shuler unpacks what a Great Commission congregation actually is, why it is a deliberate technical term and not a denominational label, and what Jesus himself says about his disciples in nine specific passages of the New Testament. A clarifying — and challenging — episode for every companion, Anglican church planter, and Great Commission Christian.
