Make plans now to join us this August in beautiful Franklin, TN, and experience the impact of heart-focused discipleship!
Dr. Marcus Warner will unpack a model for whole-brained, heart-focused discipleship based on the gospel’s four essential elements: Freedom, Identity, Spirit, and Heart-Focused Community—FISH.
SPACE IS LIMITED: Reserve your spot now for this impacting event!
Join us for teaching, practice, and connection!
Some forms of discipleship have tended to focus on the ABCs (Academics, Behavior, & Church activity). This can lead to informed minds, yet fail to produce transformed hearts.
In order to help disciples grow into mature, whole-hearted followers of Jesus who can go the distance, we need to help people grow in FISH:
FREEDOM: Learning to identify and deal with root-level issues related to spiritual warfare and emotional healing that often keep us stuck.
IDENTITY: Increasing our capacity to live out of both our New Covenant identity (what is true of all Christians because of the cross) and our Creation identity (what is true of us individually because of who God made us to be).
SPIRIT & SCRIPTURE: Walking in the Spirit opens up a whole new way of living in union with Christ. Living a life saturated with Scripture and experiencing God’s presence in your daily life changes everything.
HEART-FOCUSED COMMUNITY: Healthy community is the soil in which we grow best. We need relationships where we can go below the surface and help each other deal with heart-level issues and find the joy that comes with belonging.
FISH leads to MISSION: FISH leads us into a lifestyle of joining God on His Mission in our lives. We are meant to invite others to join us on the journey of transformation!

Marcus shines the light of biblical truth on today’s problems in a practical way. The church is under the mandate to make disciples who can reproduce themselves. To accomplish that, we have to set captives free and heal the wounds of the brokenhearted. Every believer needs to be established alive and free in Christ so they can become the person God created them to be.

Deeper Walk International’s breakout tracks are always filled to the brim with attendees due to their popularity. In our National Disciple Making Forum, they are my ‘go to’ resource for disciple making materials focused on spiritual, emotional, and demonic issues. They are substantive and trustworthy.
