“Truly life changing” Junior D
“I’m sooo very thankful for this ministry & the opportunities it’s provided for me to dig deeper & become a better student & ‘Doer’ of the Word! Sooo Very Inspiring!!!” Laurie C
“Our small group has been using the Ordinary Movement resources for a year now and we’ve grown tremendously as disciples. The content will push you as an individual and as a group to follow Christ biblically and share the gospel with everyone and us.” Shane O
“I'm more likely to listen to the Holy Spirit in my life.” OW Participant
“OW made me more conscious of my intimate relationship with Christ. It also allowed me to have a designated group of women to develop intentional relationships with. Now that I have gained this knowledge and experience I'm looking forward to sharing it with others.” OW Participant
“This past year was a great time of building relationships as well as reminding me of our need to continue to reproduce ourselves through discipling one another. The lessons were on point and the reading material was not so heavy that it made it a chore to complete the assignments each week. The fellowship times encouraged between the mornings we met to cover a lesson were a bonus to our camaraderie as well!” Randy H
“I decided to share my testimony at a school for at risk youth/teens. I spent time in a foster home when I was younger and I was ashamed of it and really didn't speak about it... But since sharing that I've felt a weight lifted.” OW Participant
“One of the best discipleship-making experiences I have seen in my 43 years of ministry. This is truly a Movement that I believe will impact the world for Christ.” Jon R
“Loved the time it gave my husband to be in the word and meeting with a group of men consistently. Highly recommend.” Carlene H
“OW made me more conscious of my intimate relationship with Christ. It also allowed me to have a designated group of women to develop intentional relationships with. Now that I have gained this knowledge and experience I'm looking forward to sharing it with others.” OW Participant
“Ordinary movement is outstanding! I led a group of 3 women, including myself, and it was the most intentional, comfortable, and life giving experience. We had so much time to dive into the sessions deeply and grew together. If you are looking for a discipleship tool for you individually, or your church, I would highly recommend it!” Jessica M
“Ordinary Men has been an ongoing part of our discipleship program at Whittington Church for over 3 years. Our groups of men not only go deeper in their faith in Jesus, but also deeper in their relationships with each other. The 'graduates' of the groups have become foundational in the positive transformation of our church men from 'casual followers' of Jesus to motivated leaders-- actively recruiting others and daily preparing for the spiritual battles of life, family, and culture.” Mark M
“Yes! This study was helpful in understanding God's word and to be in it daily. In order to disciple other people I needed to be fulfilled myself. When that happened, an outward appearance had changed in me. People started noticing something different in me. I give all that to the glory of God. He is working in and through me, I just needed to be present and listen to him. How did/do I do that? Through reading my Bible.” OW Participant
“Finally. Discipleship moves from a buzzword to a tangible practice. Ordinary movement is all bible so, in that way it’s not new. However, it’s refreshing for an organization to double down on discipleship and actually nail it! The curriculum is spot on, the process is dialed in and the leadership couldn’t be farther from self-righteous. You want in on this!” Jonny D
“I had been looking for a small group that was more than just a Bible study. Not that there is anything wrong with Bible studies, I just wanted something more challenging. Ordinary movement was exactly what I needed. Our group grew together in Jesus and all of us want every man in our community to have what we have. We are super pumped to get out there and disciple and do what Jesus told us to do.” Brian M
“If you are seeking a turn-key solution to start or continue your discipleship journey, look no further! You won't find a better program anywhere. They've removed all the obstacles so you can focus on the content, building intentional relationships with other Christ followers and deepening your intimate relationship with Jesus. What are you waiting for?” Shane F
“I loved my Ordinary Men group. Both as a participant and as a leader. It has been a great catalyst for spiritual growth. I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to take their faith to the next level and help others to do the same.” Robert C
“For me, OM was a fantastic venue for reading scripture, diving deep with other men on interpretation and backing it up with books from some great writers that I had not read before. I had been part of other men's groups, but none that brought me closer to Jesus and stimulated thoughts.” Bob B
“The Ordinary Movement discipleship program is awesome! It’s a great way to deepen your connection with God and grow in meaningful relationships with other people.
After going through the program myself, we were able to bring it to our church in South Florida. The women who attended the group rave about how impactful it has been for them. We’re excited about starting another group in the fall and potentially beginning a men’s small group as well. I highly recommend Ordinary Movement!” Nikki G
