cracking the code

“If you want to understand the riches of discipleship, look for someone who has spent decades effectively making and training disciples. When you find such a person, mine those riches in every way possible. Matt is, without a doubt, such a person. Because of this book, Matt has made it easy to learn from his extensive experience. In his book, Cracking The Code Of Adult Discipleship, you will find a storehouse of discipleship riches. It is brief, but full of treasure. It is more than a book to read – it is a resource to continually use.”

It is out of a lifetime of experience, and God’s clear design for relational discipleship, that I write Cracking the Code of Adult Discipleship. This book is not a program or formula. It’s a biblical framework rooted in the life of Jesus and the early church, offering practical tools to help everyday believers cultivate spiritually intentional relationships
that lead to lasting transformation.

Drawing from Scripture, real-life testimonies, and decades of ministry, this guide explores the principles, practices, and relational dynamics that empower discipleship to flourish. You’ll discover how the supernatural power of God’s word, trust, authenticity, prayer, and intentional presence form the foundation of high-impact mentoring.

Each chapter unpacks the stages of a discipleship journey from initial connection and spiritual curiosity to deep mentoring and multiplication. Whether you’re just beginning your discipleship walk or have been mentoring others for years, this book will equip and inspire you.
