Jim Wise teaches us to disciple clients by learning from the seven types of encounters Jesus had with people during His ministry. Jim has searched the scripture to discover how Jesus Himself interacted in the discipleship process, and he shares practical insights from those interactions to train about how to interact with our believing and non-believing clients. By examining Christ’s interactions with people at their various points of need, transition, question, or circumstance, advisors can learn how to meet their clients where they are and disciple them toward a new or toward a deeper relationship with the Lord.
