Jonathan K. Dodson

Jonathan K. Dodson (MDiv, ThM) is the founding pastor of City Life Church in Austin, Texas, and founder of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, an online platform producing resources to help churches make, mature, and multiply disciples of Jesus. Partnering with his wife Robie, Dodson also co-founded The Fair Deed Project, demonstrating his commitment to integration of gospel proclamation and justice work.

Dodson's signature book Gospel-Centered Discipleship (now in its second revised and expanded edition) provides a practical, reproducible model for small gospel-centered discipleship groups that combine theological depth with missional focus. His work emphasizes how the gospel redefines discipleship while addressing sin, maintaining Christ-centrality, and creating sustainable kingdom community, making him an important voice for a generation of evangelicals seeking to revitalize discipleship beyond traditional models.
