The Importance of Content in Disciple-Making

Discipleship involves the transformation of the mind as well as of the heart and will. What we think about forms the raw materials from which our lives are lived under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This session considers the importance of defining the content we intend to use in the discipling process and how establishing growth objectives sets the tone for the spiritual formation of the individual or group members. Additionally, related issues such as discipleship cycles, group duration (time), corporate vs. personal discipleship, and content limitation will be discussed with a view of promoting curriculum development as a vital task for effective disciplemaking.
