"Kirk Freeman is one of the most gifted and passionate disciplers I know. This book will change your paradigm of discipleship and give you tools to put it into practice. By the time you're done, you will enjoy your relationship with Jesus even more." Mark Batterson
New York Times bestselling author, The Circle Maker and Lead Pastor, National Community Church
“The best disciple-making training is reproducible and transferable. It can be done by anyone, anywhere. Kirk has clearly done this in his own life and ministry and Threads captures this essence. This book is so helpful and simple. I plan to recommend it to everyone I coach and mentor.”

No matter where you are or who you are with, Jesus wants to include you in what he’s doing in the world. He genuinely enjoys being with you and his great delight is for you to join him as he reveals the reality of his love to others. All of life is an opportunity!
In Threads, you’ll find how disciple making can be woven like threads into every aspect of your life, your family, and your church. The approach is biblical, life-giving, and reproducible. It's all about learning to genuinely enjoy and follow Jesus in a way that we can show others.
- If you’re a disciple maker, you’ll find a way of discipling that is more life-giving and less driven by content and structure. You’ll find people you disciple actually enjoying Jesus and eager to follow him in making disciples.
- If you’re a pastor, you’ll discover how to weave disciple making into every context of the church. Your large gathering, children’s/student ministry, small groups—even your staff meeting—will have common threads of disciple making powerfully present.
- If you’re a parent, you’ll find practical and meaningful ways to weave disciple making into your family in a way that helps your children experience the very real presence of Jesus.
Kirk Freeman isn't an expert at reproducible disciple making, but he's unswervingly committed to it.
He's also committed to helping pastors who are looking to weave disciple making into the fabric of their church. After pursuing a career as a country music songwriter, he realized he wasn't as good as his mother said he was. He spent a decade in the Christian publishing industry in Nashville and Dallas, before graduating from seminary and joining a church staff team first as their Worship Pastor and then as Executive Pastor.
