Five ways to get disciplemaking into your church’s DNA
Sustaining Change
Shaping Disciples: Part One
Shaping Disciples: Part Two
Discover what helps whole-life disciples grow and thrive.
LICC’s in-depth research gives leaders the insights they need to grow a church culture that equips Christians for fruitfulness in daily life.
It’s one thing to want to disciple people for their ordinary places and tasks. It’s another to make it a reality.
In the rough-and-tumble of church life, so many things compete for your energies. You can always spend more time on… everything. Should you focus on one-to-ones or outward-looking sermons? Small groups that discuss everyday life or clever visual aids in the building?
And how do you not just start well, but persist – establishing a culture of commitment to whole-life discipleship that lasts decades, not just a season?
There’s no one magic bullet – but the insights in our research reports will help you find answers to these questions in your own context.
Commissioned to explore key questions about whole-life disciplemaking, LICC research draws insights from both qualitative and quantitative data, gathered through rigorous fieldwork with churches of all kinds, up and down the UK.
Explore our reports below – and if you want to discuss the implications for your own church, get in touch at [email protected].

Five ways to get disciplemaking into your church’s DNA
What kind of leadership helps whole-life disciplemaking thrive? In this short but detailed piece, discover insights shared by 16 church leaders who’ve journeyed through an LICC Learning Hub – in-depth training communities that grow together over two years.
Sustaining Change
What keeps whole-life disciplemaking going and growing? This in-depth research reveals key ingredients in churches that have sustained whole-life disciplemaking for three years or more, featuring insights from senior leaders, volunteers, and congregation members.
Shaping Disciples: Part One
What spiritual practices are whole-life disciples currently using, and what impact are they having? This first of two reports digs deeper into the Sustaining Change project’s findings – exploring how embedding practices like prayer and Bible reading into daily life can play a key role in helping people grow as fruitful disciples.
Shaping Disciples: Part Two
What impact would we see if we taught people tailor-made spiritual practices, and helped them integrate them into their lives? This report reveals that it can change everything – helping people live more like Jesus, grow closer to God, and feel more positive about their discipleship.
Still got questions?
Making Disciples for Everyday Life is a series of case studies addressing eight questions church leaders often ask about whole-life disciplemaking.
