Amplify 1.2 - First aid rooms vs Fitness rooms

During Amplify, an example was given on how the church is often seen as a first aid room where people come in to seek help and medication and leave when they get their treatment. Instead of seeing the church as a first aid room, the preacher proposed that the church should be a fitness room, where believers come to train to be disciples of Christ.

I like to add something to that thought. The gym instructors in the fitness room should train the gym users to be gym instructors themselves. In this way, more people can be trained to be gym instructors, not merely practising the fitness routines that are taught to lead a fit and healthy lifestyle, but also having sufficient content knowledge and skills to empower other regular gym users. That's discipleship in action.
