Practice
following Jesus together, in everyday life.
At Equipping Ministries International, we exist to equip the saints for the work of ministry by cultivating biblical, relational habits where discipleship is practiced and Christlikeness is formed beyond Sunday.
“To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:12
We’ve learned how to consume faith, but forgotten how to practice it.
We have access to more sermons, podcasts, books, and content than ever before, yet many of us feel less formed and more alone.
Faith becomes something we receive rather than something we live.
Relationships remain shallow.
Community stays polite.
Formation happens privately, if at all.
We receive information about Jesus, but rarely practice following Him together in ways that shape our everyday lives.
Discipleship was never meant to be consumed: it was meant to be lived.
We believe relationships are the primary context of formation.
Rather than adding more programs or content, EMI focuses on shared relational practices that shape how people live, love, and follow Jesus together.
Relational Practices
Simple, shared practices that form how we listen, speak, repair, and love.
Everyday Rhythms
Habits that integrate faith into family life, leadership, conflict, and community.
Rooted & Repeatable
Biblical, practical, and designed to be practiced again and again—without experts.

How EMI supports formation in everyday life
What happens when people practice together
We’re practitioners shaped by this work ourselves.
For decades, EMI has walked alongside churches, leaders, families, and communities - helping discipleship move from theory into shared practice.
Our story includes 120 countries and almost 1 million people impacted. What remains constant is our commitment to relational discipleship rooted in Scripture and lived together.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you are leading a church, part of a community, or wanting practices for yourself, there’s a place to start.
