Published DM Resources
There are a bunch of great disciple making resources on the market. Below is a list of a few I have used in the past. Depending on your context, it may be easier to use published material. Here are some classics:
Navigator booklets have been used by millions since the 1970’s:
- Growing in Christ: A 13 week course for New and Growing Christians
- Design for Discipleship (DFD): A comprehensive 7 booklet series designed for an individual or small group study
- Discipleship Essentials: A Guide to Building Your Life in Christ, by Greg Ogden, a 24 week discipleship resource where each week includes a core truth, memory verse, inductive Bible study and a reading.
There are many more. I use the following as evaluation criteria:
- Study of the actual Biblical text is central, not the words of the author.
- Absolute clarity on the Gospel, Faith alone in Christ alone.
- Promotes sound doctrine, especially in the study of the ministries of the Holy Spirit.
- Immediately instills an outreach mindset, the telling of “My Story” to others.
- The material is easily reproducible, once I go through this, I can lead others through.
