In Go For Me, Tyler Lynde closes the Discipleship Matters journey by showing why a church prepared for crisis is a church shaped by discipleship. He revisits Jesus’ four-step path—come and see, follow me, be with me, go for me—and then stays with the final step that turns conviction into movement. Opening Mark 16:15-20 like a field manual, Tyler makes the call clear: we are commanded to go into all the world, and we are never sent alone.

Tyler clarifies the message we carry. The gospel isn’t our moral performance or church brand; it’s the finished work of Jesus: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). That good news is God’s power for salvation (Romans 1:16). The only right response is repent and believe (Mark 1:15), and baptism becomes the public witness that we belong to Jesus. He urges us to talk to people, not at them, to pray that God opens blind eyes, and to rest in the freeing truth that we don’t save anyone—God does.

From message to power, Tyler shows how the risen Jesus still “works with” His people. Ordinary believers can ask to pray, confront darkness with Christ’s authority, lay hands on the sick, and expect God to confirm His word. This isn’t a pastor-only lane or a call to spectacle; it’s the normal Christian life empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). The safest place to be is on mission with God—not because risk disappears, but because His presence accompanies obedience.

He also names four barriers that dim our light: the comfort of community that turns inward, fear amplified by constant panic, love of the shadows that splits Sunday faith from weekday life, and hatred of those in darkness that forgets our own rescue. The gospel answers each: remember the Father’s sending love (John 3:16), resist fear with discernment and prayer, repent of compromise, and practice enemy-love.

Finally, Tyler gives a simple on-ramp: small circles. Invite one, ask them to invite one, keep it to three. Read Mark one chapter a week, write a short prayer, note one insight and one application, swap questions, hop on a 20-minute weekly call, and gather monthly in person—then reproduce. Write your name on the lobby boards—discipling, being discipled, ready to start—and join the church family on February 8 to pray for fresh boldness. Going doesn’t require a passport, only obedience. If you’re ready to trade spectatorship for multiplication, press play and take your next step.
