Even seasoned believers can question their purpose. Sometimes you know that God is there and that he loves you, but you don't fully understand the truth at core of Jesus's redemptive work: to reconcile us back to our created design.
Discover Discipleship walks you through the very fundamental truths of who you are, what you were made for, and how you can live that out in all parts of your life.

The Discover Discipleship Course is a result of nearly 30 years of researching and teaching basic discipleship principles. Specifically, this course was written over a span of nine years. The goal for writing this course was to provide a resource so that every growing believer would have tools to assist them in making and mentoring new disciples of Jesus, even if they did not have strong teaching gifts in their life. It has been field-tested with hundreds of participants, with dozens of groups and leaders in multiple churches.

The Discover Discipleship Process
The Discover Discipleship Study is built around 6 Key Discoveries and Decisions:
Book 1: Discover Identity
The Identity Decision: I choose to accept and live in my identity as a child of God by surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus.
Book 2: Discover Freedom
The Freedom Decision: I choose to live in freedom from sinful habits by taking personal responsibility for my change; relying upon the strength of God’s power for change; finding partners to support my change; developing a plan for change.
Book 3: Discover Growth
The Growth Decision: I choose to grow in my relationship with God by engaging with His Presence through prayer and worship and by engaging with His written Word—the Bible.
Book 4: Discover Relationships
The Relationship Decision: I choose to honor God in my human relationships by changing my attitude toward others, giving and receiving forgiveness, handling conflict Jesus’ way, and by becoming an active part of God’s family.
Book 5: Discover Mission
The Mission Decision: I choose to engage in Jesus’ mission to reconcile the world back to God and expand the Kingdom of God by actively making new disciples of Jesus.
Book 6: Discover Alignment
The Alignment Decision: I choose to intentionally align my time, temple, talent and treasure with my created design of loving God, loving people, and making new disciples of Jesus.
key features
GREAT FOR INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP STUDIES: Each book is divided into 30 daily lessons that help guide and pace your learning. Each lesson is full of teaching, application questions and Scripture. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that you complete all six books, in order. Tips for leading a group study with others are included at the beginning of each workbook.
SCRIPTURE-CENTERED: Nearly every page of the Discover Discipleship Study contains the written text of multiple, applicable Scriptures. We believe Scripture is the final authority in the life of a disciple of Jesus.
PRACTICAL: Each lesson has multiple application questions which help you practically apply the principles taught to your life. The Study also includes numerous assessments, charts, graphics, inventories, application plans and references to help you apply the principles in a real-life context.
FIELD-TESTED: We know every good pastor or church leader desires to help their congregation grow in maturity. This course was designed over a span of nine years by a pastor with pastors and church leaders in mind. It has been field-tested with hundreds of participants, with dozens of groups and leaders in multiple churches. This study also draws upon nearly 30 years of intentional discipleship ministry experience from the author.
A MAP FOR PERSONAL AND CHURCH-WIDE DISCIPLESHIP: Many churches are adopting the Discover Discipleship Study, as their basic, church-wide discipleship plan for new believers and members. The Discover Discipleship Study is an excellent map for spiritual growth as it focuses on six key areas of discipleship. The scope of topics is comprehensive and thorough, providing a solid base for a strong Christian life. Each participant will not only grow in the faith but will also be equipped to lead others and make new disciples of Jesus.

A GUIDE TO MENTOR OTHERS: This course is a valuable tool to help you grow as a Christian, but it can also help you fulfill the Great Commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20. This Study can help you mentor others from spiritual interest to salvation and on to spiritual growth in 6 key areas of spiritual life.
AGES: The Discover Discipleship Study is recommended for participants from high school students to all ages of adults. We have also used this Study with several middle school students with great results as well. The Study can be used in existing small groups, Sunday School classes or men's/women's/youth ministries. It can also be used as a plan to implement a church-wide discipleship system.

TESTIMONIALS
I am a Christian Counselor and was so excited to participate in a Freedom Encounter (an event focused on Workbook 2: Discover Freedom). This is a powerful tool that I will be using in my Counseling work.
Jennie Newborough / Christian Counselor / Author
I had the honor of teaching Discover Discipleship, and it changed not only my perspective but also our church's perspective of how we see ourselves. Understanding our identity as a child of God sets a true foundation to be able to build upon. It is refreshing to see discipleship that comes with a true conviction that causes you to want to change and be molded into what the Lord desires for your life. I highly recommend Discover Discipleship for a church or small group, but especially for leaders. We cannot teach what we do not realize ourselves
