Thanks for joining us for our workshop with Ger Jones on Discipleship after Alpha. While we recorded the session for a number of our team who were unable to attend, a number of you asked if we could make the recordings available to rewatch and share with team members. Ger has asked that we don’t share this beyond our immediate circles but is happy for you to share with teams.

Note: Use the times below to find a section in the player, whether you’re coming back to something that stood out or picking one part to watch with your team. Questions from the room that weren’t picked up by the microphone appear as captions on screen as best we could remember them and we’ve edited a number of other small silences and breaks to make it easier to view.
