How can churches create a discipleship strategy that balances worship, study, and service?

In this episode of Group Answers, Brian Daniel sits down with Austin Gentry, Discipleship Pastor at Second Baptist Houston, to explore the church’s innovative approach to discipleship called the “one plus one plus one” strategy: one hour of worship, one hour of Bible study, and one hour of service. Austin shares how this intentional structure fosters relationships, spiritual growth, and engagement in both programmatic and personal discipleship.

Listeners will gain insight into:

  • The “one plus one plus one” strategy for holistic discipleship
  • The role of relationships and mentorship in spiritual growth
  • How curriculum supports ministry and facilitates learning
  • Strategies for leadership multiplication and community engagement
  • Using analytics to track participation and measure impact

Austin emphasizes the importance of integrating structured programming with relational ministry to help church members grow in faith, serve others, and lead within their communities. This episode is a must-listen for small group leaders, church leaders, and discipleship coordinators seeking practical ideas for intentional, measurable ministry.
