On the whole, the modern church hasn’t discipled their converts. The emphasis has been on getting people born again, but the follow-up has been poor at best in most cases. The pastors have become absorbed with bringing a motivational message that might encourage someone or meet a momentary need. Very few ground their members in God’s Word to the degree the individual members can receive from God on their own. Hence, the body of Christ is dependent on the clergy to get any answers or insights from God. That is not what Jesus commanded. The failure to disciple converts is the root of most problems in the church and society today.
Take a moment and read this blog post. It's on Discipleship vs Evangelism. It's a very good read. Check it out: https://www.awmi.net/reading/teaching-articles/discipleship_evangelism/?fbclid=IwAR0cP_UULy7yA_xPb7fovU2QVhsvUHuyi92eAE8lglfdCLbXWRpTrO8Z0gs.
