Yesterday I introduced the two basic discipleship models.<\/a> Today, I review the pros and cons of each discipleship model as presented by Matt Chandler.<\/p>\n Curiously, there is a huge schism over these two discipleship models today, and generally, this schism seems to follow along generational lines. Those who are in their 20s and 30s lean more toward the organic model while those over 40 lean heavily on the mechanical. There may be ways to blend the pros of both while avoiding the cons.
