Make Disciples Who Multiply, Not Just Participate
You may know me as the author of Discipleship Essentials or Transforming Discipleship.
If you are here, you are likely looking for help—not just to make disciples, but to make disciples who make disciples.
At GDI, we have discovered something simple, yet profound.
We call them the “hot houses” of the Holy Spirit.
A few summers ago, my wife and I traveled to Alaska. During that season, the sun barely sets—and growth accelerates. Pumpkins can grow to 500 pounds in just a few months.
That is the picture.
That is what happens when the conditions are right.
If you are using Discipleship Essentials, we provide 25 short videos—one for each lesson—to spark meaningful conversation.
If you are launching MicroGroups, we offer four introductory videos, along with a simple guide: Essential Guide to Becoming a Disciple—answering one key question:
What does God expect of me as a disciple?
You will also hear real testimonies of lives being transformed through MicroGroups.
We would love to come alongside you.
Ralph Rittenhouse and I are here to support you.

Let us walk with you as you make disciples who multiply.
👉 A simple, proven pathway to help you create disciples who reproduce—through the power of the Holy Spirit and intentional microgroups.
🧭 THE PROBLEM
Most people want to obey the Great Commission… but feel stuck.
- “I do not know how.”
- “I am not equipped.”
- “Where do I even start?”
So they settle for learning
without multiplying.
Activity without transformation.
Groups that gather—but do not reproduce.
🌱 THE SHIFT
There is a better way.
A way that is:
- Simple enough to start
- Deep enough to transform
- Reproducible enough to multiply
We call them the “Hot Houses of the Holy Spirit.”
Just like Alaska’s long summer days accelerate growth, the right spiritual environment accelerates disciplemaking.
🔁 WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
When you engage this pathway, you will:
- Move from information → transformation
- Shift from consumer → disciplemaker
- Experience multiplication, not stagnation
This is not about trying harder.
It is about aligning with how Jesus made disciples.

🤝 YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Disciplemaking was never meant to be done in isolation.
We will walk with you.
Ralph Rittenhouse and our GDI team are here to support, guide, and encourage you every step of the way.
🚀 You are standing at a decision point.
You can continue doing what you have always done…
or step into a pathway that multiplies.
⚖️Partial obedience still leads to limited fruit.
But when you align with God’s design, you step into a multiplying movement.
The question is not if disciples will be made.
The question is: Will they multiply through you?
