What if making disciples could be relational, renewing, refreshing—and every bit as enjoyable as inviting a friend to coffee?

This sip-by-sip guide will help you confidently...

  • Start God-conversations with ease
  • Share scriptural truth in a relational way
  • Go deeper with God in your own life
  • Allow Jesus to disciple others through you!

About a dozen years ago, I stumbled into making disciples, and since then I’ve seen life after life changed—including my own, as Jesus continually uses the "pouring out" process to refresh and nudge my own growth forward.

Jesus has called every believer to make disciples, and that includes YOU...

I can’t wait to help you start embracing the full-circle life you were meant to live!

Hi, I’m Kim...

I’m an author, speaker, and come-alongside mentor who delights in helping women drink in and pour out the truth and love of God in relational ways.

As you may have guessed...Jesus is my favorite person! That's why getting to know Him, and sharing that experience with others, is what I love best.

I live in Franklin, Tennessee, with my comedian husband Paul, and spend my time juggling writing deadlines, enjoying God-conversations, and drinking cinnamon dolce lattes whenever possible.

“In an age when Google will find you the recipe, Alexa will order the ingredients, and YouTube will show you how to make the pie, there remains a vital human role in Christian discipleship that cannot be outsourced or digitized.

Kim Aldrich shows us that effective disciple-making can be as natural as chatting with a friend over coffee."

"I worked in coffee shops for seven years and have been in the ministry of making disciples for twenty. So I’ve made a lot of coffee and disciples.

I highly recommend it to any woman who loves Jesus and wants to make disciples.”
