Measuring discipleship online isn't much different from in-person, though the events you'll notice might change. All the sudden, liking Instagram posts might matter quite a bit. We walk through how to think about this in this episode.

We use a 5-stage discipleship system:

Uninterested, unengaged

Spiritually interested, but not connected to a church

Church-goer, but not engaged in sanctification/being more like Jesus, etc

Taking responsibility for their own growth

Taking responsibility for the growth of others

Essentially, you're monitoring for signs a person is moving from one category to the next. We give some thoughts on what sort of things you might see in an online worship community.
