Key Diagnostic Finding
Notice how the surface rows (M1 & M2) are almost entirely affirmed, while the deeper floor (M4 & M5) falls away rapidly outside the theological launch phase. The hatched variance on Statement 14 highlights a four-to-two split among elders regarding whether disciple-making has reached a self-sustaining third generation.
Sample Elder Discussion Prompts
- 1.Statement 14 split four to two. Before arguing about the score, agree on what counts as a generation — and write the definition down.
- 2.Leading scored 1 of 5 with the widest spread on the board. Who in this room believes we are equipping leaders, and what are they seeing that the rest of us are not?
- 3.Sustaining at M5 is the only cell nobody affirmed. Is planting churches something we have decided against, or something we have never discussed?
