Why Modern Christianity Struggles to Make Disciples Part II | Ep 37 (Bonus)

This bonus episode concludes our two-part exploration of the Three Primary Problems that contribute to the modern discipleship crisis.Building on Episode 36's discussion of the Forgotten Kingdom, Brian Fisher examines the remaining two challenges: the Discipleship Dilemma and the Formation Gap. Why do so many Christians feel disconnected from God despite years of church involvement? Why does spiritual growth often seem slower and more difficult than expected?The conversation explores the concept of "double knowledge"—the relationship between knowing God and knowing ourselves—and explains why healing, self-awareness, and understanding our stories are essential parts of discipleship. Brian also revisits the Five Key Elements of Formation and shows how the absence of intentional formative environments leaves many believers struggling to become more like Jesus.Together, these two frameworks provide a roadmap for understanding why discipleship often feels difficult and how deeper transformation becomes possible.
