The second space is where you connect with people in places you have created or places you have been invited to. This can be a game night, a party, or even a publicized event on doing a Q&A about Jesus. The third space is the place where believers pause and are equipped and encouraged to follow Jesus. Note this space can happen anywhere, and should be conducive to both learning and freeing people up for 1st and 2nd space ministry with those outside the faith.
It is helpful no matter if you are going, connecting or pausing to ask yourself a number of questions to help see a disciple making movement in all three spaces:
- What are the norms and networks where I go?
- How do I connect with people in places I have created or been invited?
- How do I share the good news in my norms, networks, and the places where I connect?
- How do I pause and make disciples who disciple others?
- How do I form groups in these spaces that will reproduce?
- How do I develop and multiply local leaders in these spaces?
These five questions can be asked and answered by anyone, these are not for some elite level of seminary trained Christians. In other words you don't necessarily need to change the routine of your normal life in order to implement these, instead you have freedom to start asking these questions and see what happens as you answer them, you may be surprised!
