The most rewarding part was watching our people grapple with the humanity of Jesus and realize the implications for their lives. In fact, of those who went through the study here at the church, we saw 52% of them get involved in serving.

Ted MaxLead Pastor at Vale Church (Bloomington, IL)

4 Chair Discipling has been a culture shift for me and my church. Maturity is not only how much you know; maturity is making and developing disciples who make disciples.

Ron CitlauSenior Pastor, Calvary Church (Orland Park, IL)

Few people have the reputation of author Dann Spader — with a life's passion for making disciples. Dann challenges us to walk more faithfully in Jesus' calling.

Ed StetzerPresident, Lifeway Research

I've seen firsthand just how impactful Dann Spader’s work can be through his personal investment in our staff. It's worth your time and investment – tranforming you both personally and pastorally.

Kyle IdlemanSenior Pastor, Southeast Christian Church (Louisville, Kentucky)

My friend and author Dann Spader is passionate about making disciples. Like Jesus is a simple and powerful way to become more effective in doing that.

Josh McDowellAuthor, More Than a Carpenter + 80 other books

Dann lives out these principles in daily life with amazing results. Like Jesus could well be the be the most important ministry you encounter this year.

Frequently asked questions

1. How long do all the modules take to complete?

Each module is designed between 8-10 sessions or weeks. However, you can do them faster or slower. We recommend doing 1 module per semester. It’s flexible, do one module or all of them. 1 year, over 3 years. Find your pace.

2. Is the app free? What is paid Digital Access?

The Like Jesus App is free to download and use. There are some basic free features in the app. With the Digital Access (paid by church or ministry), all the books, videos, messaging, stats, etc. are unlocked in the app. You can then manage the app and get all the digital resources.

3. What if I have further questions or need help?

We are here to help. Once you signup, one of our reps will contact you. There is a Facebook Group where leaders are invited to ask questions and interact. We have over 400 certified trainers/coaches that can help you implement, contact us for more details. We have a team to help guide you.

4. How do we order Leader Kits or books?

Once you create an account and have Digital Access, all the resources are discounted 50% and can be purchased in the Digital Access management portal. This includes Leader Boxes (for each leader, with all 3 books and Leader Manual) as well as individual books for your people. They can read the books in the app or you can buy the printed copies at half off.

5. What if we don't want the Digital Access?

This resource was built centered around the Digital Access (e-books, videos, messaging, assessment, and dashboards.) It can still be used with only the print materials. Send us an e-mail at [email protected] or call 309-319-6408 and we can assist you.

6. Does this work outside the US?

Yes, however, it’s only in English at the moment. Any country (with English speakers) can utilize this resource and the Digital Access platform. Different prices will be offered in different countries/currencies. The Like Jesus philosophy is being used in over 50 countries.

7. Does this work in our current church app?

Yes! Since this app was built in a new hybrid platform, the “web app” works exactly the same as the native app from any web browser. You can use your custom link (provided in the Digital Access) to add a new web based link or section inside your current church app in its entirety.

8. What's the best way to use this in our ministry?

We recommend that you preach it, discuss it in small groups, and have people study on their own in tandem. We provide those three layers for you. Sermon guides, discussion guides and the books themselves for personal study. This resource was designed to be integrated into any church or ministry.
