CMC Teachables
We are continually updating our "teachables" to help you in becoming a fruitful Kingdom Influence among those Jesus has surrounded you with. Feel free to explore each teachable by clicking on its logo, as each one is a downloadable PDF. French and Spanish versions are available on the CM FAMILY PORTAL.
If you have any questions about a specific tool, a particular request for a teachable that suits your needs, or an idea for a teachable you'd like us to share, please don't hesitate to reach out.
KINGDOM EXPRESSIONS
What is a Kingdom Expression? What makes it unique? How do I begin the journey of becoming one?
These are the most commonly asked questions among those new to Jesus and are beginning to explore how they can be a Kingdom Influence to those around them. This PDF provides an overview of a Kingdom Expression and serves as a catalyst for delving deeper into the exploration, experimentation, and expression of who Jesus has uniquely called you to be and what He has uniquely called you to do.
CULTURESCOPE
In our journey to build meaningful relationships, specific shared experiences and identities draw us closer to others in ways that foster lasting bonds and mutual understanding. This PDF teachable highlights five key areas—PASSION, PLACE, PROFESSION, PLAY, and PAIN—that act as powerful magnets for connection. These paradigms show how shared enthusiasm, common backgrounds, professional ties, joyful activities, or deep struggles can create connections beyond surface-level interactions. By recognizing these shared aspects and inviting Jesus to guide our connections, we can engage with others authentically, with purpose and discernment, and ultimately embody our unique expression of God’s Kingdom in community.
LEADING A 3•2•1
Growing in your faith in Jesus happens on three levels: the head (knowledge), the heart (belief), and the hands (action). Nurturing all three to be the Kingdom Influence you're truly meant to be is imperative.
A 3•2•1 is a fresh and simple approach to help you grow in your Bible understanding and representation of Jesus to those around you.
This PDF will explore what it means to get together and explore three thought-provoking questions, dive into two Bible verses, and commit to one meaningful action each week.
THE MATURITY MATRIX
A mature disciplemaker understands the delicate balance between giving someone access to their lives and challenging them to live out the Kingdom in and through their lives.
Jesus modeled this balance with his different circles of disciples (the 120, the 72, the 12, the 3, and the 1).
This PDF visually explains the effects of a healthy fruit-producing balance and an unhealthy fruit-producing imbalance.
LAUNCHING A
GOD CONVERSATIONS
COMING SOON.
We believe that one of the most effective ways to help people understand who Jesus is—is by coming together around a table for what we call "God Conversations." These weekly get-togethers feature a question of the week, relaxed and enjoyable conversations, one Bible verse, and plenty of time for questions. No question is too simple or too complex—we welcome them all. Every get-together is respectful and provides a safe space for everyone to be themselves.
This PDF explains how you can start a God Conversations gathering and form a community around the BIG questions of life, all the while pointing others to Jesus.
PLANTING JESUS
Our experience has shown that the most effective way to expand the Kingdom is not through modern church planting methods. Modern church planting often requires specific leadership qualifications, intensive training, and significant fundraising efforts. Despite these investments, many new churches ultimately fail after three years. While there is nothing inherently wrong with church planting, it may not be the most efficient approach.
This PDF explains a shift in focus from traditional church planting to planting the message of Jesus through anyone who follows Him. It serves as the guiding principle for our Kingdom Expression paradigm.
PARACHUTE DROP
Cast Member Church has multipled into a global network that doesn't require a budget, facilities, paid staff, and other resources commonly associated with such organizations. It's disheartening to see how many brilliant Kingdom innovations never come to fruition simply due to a perceived lack of resources.
But what if scarcity could actually be viewed as an advantage?
While there is no doubt that our God is a God of abundance, He also generously provides us with creativity, ingenuity, and inventiveness—qualities that don't rely on traditional resources.
Imagine what could happen if we embraced scarcity as a gift.
