In episode 17, Chris Rivers speaks with Turner Vaughn, campus pastor at Grace Church’s Powdersville campus, as they discuss a new training developed for men at Grace Church around the mission of Men’s Roundtable.
Men’s Roundtable (MRT) exists for two main goals within Grace Church: to assimilate men living in the margins to participate in the life of the church, and to give men language to wrestle with how they are created, wounds from their past, and ultimately how to grow in the Lord’s design for the practice of Biblical manhood. MRT has been designed to act as a road map through various studies in order to gauge and identify areas for growth and to better understand unique brokenness as it applies to different aspects of a man’s life and responsibilities. MRT carries out the opportunity of discipleship by equipping men to lead in a biblical way, replicate biblical leadership, build relational capital with those around them, and invite them into how God is working in the church. MRT has been influential in the surrendering of lives to the mystery of the Gospel, as well as deepening the roots of faith in the active and working Gospel of Jesus Christ. The goal of the MRT training series is to help onboard new facilitators and to prepare the hearts and minds of those who will someday step into this role. The series hopes to accomplish just that with five new episodes: What is MRT/role of MRT facilitator? How do I prepare to lead a successful MRT study? What does it look like to be a great MRT facilitator? How do I encourage ownership and replicate discipleship within the members of my group? How do I troubleshoot and handle common problems within a study? Grace Church hopes to equip and motivate those listening to do the hard work of ministry just as the gospel in Ephesians 4 commands us.
