The Path You Follow Together
Your journey begins by meeting one-to-one and starting with four biblical conversations called Knowing God Personally, where you begin taking your first steps in following Jesus.
From there, you continue meeting one-to-one in ongoing biblical conversations designed to help you grow, each one rooted in the gospel. You open the Bible together, answer questions directly from Scripture, and talk through what you are learning and how it applies to your life.
As you continue, you begin to build new habits. You read the Bible, learn to pray, and put what you are learning into practice in everyday life. These habits begin to shape how you live in a way that reflects who Jesus is and how he lived.
Over time, that one-to-one relationship becomes a place of trust, encouragement, and accountability that helps you grow to be more like Jesus. You are not figuring things out on your own. You are learning alongside someone who is helping you follow Jesus and over time, you begin to help someone else do the same.
Why Is Discipleship Important?
Jesus clearly commanded His followers to make disciples. In the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18–20, He instructed believers to teach others to obey everything He commanded. One-to-One Discipleship was created to help Christians live out this calling in a practical, relational, and effective way.
Why One-to-One Discipleship Works
Many new believers respond to an altar call or church service and are then left to grow on their own. Without intentional guidance, they may never learn even the basics of Christianity. One-to-One Discipleship fills this gap by providing personal responsibility, relational accountability, and a clear path for spiritual growth.
This approach also benefits long-time believers who may have never been taught how to obey Christ’s commands in everyday life. Through one-on-one relationships, discipleship becomes personal, confidential, and deeply impactful.
The Power of Reproduction and Multiplication
- Anyone can disciple using what they have learned
- Accountability is easier in a one-on-one setting
- Potential leaders naturally emerge
- Spiritual growth occurs in both disciple and discipler
- Quality time is invested in those who desire growth
- Deep, lasting friendships often develop
Who Makes a Good Discipler?
A good discipler is someone who understands the One-to-One materials and has the spiritual desire to share them. Consider life circumstances, time commitments, and current responsibilities to ensure discipleship remains joyful and sustainable.
Discipleship should be offered prayerfully and intentionally. Consider personality, spiritual desire, and life stage, then simply invite someone to walk through the materials together.
