Gospel Discipleship Participant Guide eBook

Therewas a time when discipleship was taken for granted. It was assumed thatpeople could be persuaded to believe and that each person would stepinto the path that took them to Jesus. That assumption is no longervalid. As early as the Gospels, Jesus and his biographers recognize thateach person brings experience to the journey, which travels throughdifferent times and places. The discipleship path for each individualdisciple is assessed and determined through this Gospel Discipleship Participant Guide while the Gospel Discipleship Congregation Guide serves as the implementation guide for church leaders. It also assesses the discipleship path for the congregation as a whole.

Byunderstanding what type of disciple you are, participants in GospelDiscipleship can clarify the path they need to walk. Some people love togo on mission trips; some people really thrive learning from a greatteacher; some people connect to God through painting and music; and somepeople just want to have a cup of coffee and talk about life andeventually get around to talking about Jesus. Participants in GospelDiscipleship can be set free from the guilt of not feeling like a "real"disciple because they don''t feel called to experience the journey thesame way as everyone else. Instead, participants can become the discipleJesus wants them to be. They can spend their valuable time and energyliving and walking on the path where Jesus is calling them to follow.
