This discipleship training manual is designed to help you grow in your relationship with God and equip you to make disciples. It is based on Jesus' model of first calling the twelve to follow him, then training them, and finally sending them out to continue his mission.

Discipleship is a lifelong journey of learning to be more like Christ. This manual covers core practices like reading the Bible, prayer, fellowship, worship, evangelism, and service.

You will learn how to build strong spiritual disciplines to nourish your soul. It also addresses challenges we face as disciples such as trials, spiritual warfare, busyness, and burnout.

Each chapter ends with discussion and practical action steps to help you apply the teachings. My goal is to give you foundational biblical principles and personal practices that will transform you into Christ’s image.

In turn, you will be empowered to disciple others. Studying this material together in a small group will enrich your learning experience.

My prayer is that God will use these simple teachings to help you grow as a fruitful disciple of Jesus. May you come to know Jesus more intimately and make him known more passionately.
