DISCIPLEMAKER 101

Impacting Your World for Christ



What is DiscipleMaker 101?

A strategic and intentional training course

Like us, you desire to be a force for good in the world. You also know that the answer is making disciples for Jesus that make disciples for Jesus. But you may not have the tools to do that. Even if you’re here for your church, you have to ask yourself…

          • What is my plan for making disciples? 
          • Is my plan working? 

If you can’t answer these questions, then DiscipleMaker 101 will help you build a disciple-making movement in your Circle of Influence to change the world for the better.

HOW TO BECOME A DISCIPLEMAKER

At its heart, DiscipleMaker 101 is a leadership training course that will help you become the disciple maker that God has called you to be. If you’re a Christian who wants to intentionally enter into relationships with other people to help them better trust and follow Jesus, then this program is for you. Interact with the tabs below to find out more details about this virtual learning experience. 

How the Course Works...

The course is divided into 10 lessons (including an introduction) and is primarily designed for individual use. Each lesson consists of instructional videos, a Bible study, reflection questions and practical exercises.

Additionally, there is an opportunity within each lesson for you to “DIG DEEPER” by reading and engaging with the book The Disciple Maker’s Handbook: Seven Elements of a Disciple Maker’s Lifestyle. This book is highly recommended but is not required reading for the course. We prefer this book because it was written by successful practitioners of disciple making.

Groups: For those choosing to take this course within a leadership team context, there are discussion questions at the conclusion of each lesson as well as occasional stopping points within the videos. If taking this course with a leadership team, please watch the videos and complete all the work individually before your team meets. Then as a group, review the lesson and work through the various discussion questions together.
