Discipleship
At Church of the Heartland, we are not casual in our expectations — we are expectant for revival. Not just a moment of emotion, but a lifestyle of transformation. We believe that every person who walks through our doors can come alive in Christ — and not just alive, but thriving in their relationship with Jesus.
But here's the truth:
Revival may start with an encounter, but it is only sustained through discipleship.
And discipleship only happens in the context of Godly community.
Come Alive in Christ — But Don’t Stay Where You Started
Too many people have had powerful spiritual moments, only to find themselves burned out months later. That’s because revival isn’t about one night — it’s about a new life.
Jesus never said, “Go and make converts.” He said:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
— Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV)
Revival without discipleship is a wildfire that burns out. But discipled people burn steady — they are rooted, grounded, and fruitful.
As Dallas Willard famously put it,
“Non-discipleship costs abiding peace, a life penetrated throughout by love, faith that sees everything in the light of God’s overriding governance for good, hopefulness that stands firm in the most discouraging of circumstances...”
Discipleship Isn’t a Program — It’s a Pursuit
At Heartland, when we say “Revival for Me,” we mean we are daily becoming more like Jesus. That’s not a Sunday-only commitment. That’s a lifestyle.
We believe a thriving disciple of Jesus is someone who:
Prays regularly — “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Loves the Scriptures — “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
Leads their family well — “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
Is in daily pursuit of Christ — “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)
Discipleship is not about achieving perfection — it's about daily pursuit. It's about being formed in the image of Christ through intentional obedience.

Revival Is a Community Project
You were not designed to follow Jesus alone. There is no discipleship without community.
Paul reminds us:
“So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
— Romans 12:5 (ESV)
We grow best when we’re known, encouraged, corrected, and spurred on by others. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote in Life Together:
“Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.”
That’s why Heartland places such a heavy emphasis on Groups, Teams, and serving together. Revival doesn't grow in isolation — it grows in soil that is rich with connection.
We’re Not Just After Fireworks — We’re After Fruit
The early church experienced revival — signs, wonders, salvations — but they didn’t stop there. They devoted themselves:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
— Acts 2:42, 47 (NIV)
That’s what sustainable revival looks like: teaching, community, prayer, consistency — and growth.
Not hype. Holiness.
Not crowds. Commitment.
Not a moment. A movement.
Revival for me doesn’t mean a goosebump during worship. It means I am being made new from the inside out. It means I’m learning to lead myself, my family, and my community toward Jesus. It means I’m surrounded by others doing the same.
So yes — we’re praying for revival.
But we’re also discipling for revival.
Because revival without discipleship dies — but revival built on discipleship multiplies.
