Q. What is discipleship?

At pursueGOD, we define discipleship in terms of a simple “full circle” process that includes three key elements (see below). Discipleship tracks are designed to create a clear pathway for you to make it around the circle, featuring 12 topics on faith, life, and everything in between.  

Q. How do discipleship tracks work?

Discipleship tracks are designed to help you go “full circle” with a group or mentor over the course of 12 or more weeks. Just cover a topic every week with a group or mentor, watching the video ahead of time to prepare for the conversation. Connect in person or on the phone and use the discussion questions provided to learn together. 

Q. What is the structure of a discipleship track?

Discipleship tracks are divided into four sections. First you’ll get warmed up with topics we think you’ll find interesting. The next section helps you through Step 1 in a “full circle” pursuit, laying out the basics of faith and helping you trust Jesus for salvation. Next we’ll lay the groundwork for Step 2, showing you the importance of honoring God in your daily life as a Christian. The final section will help you go “full circle” and become a disciple-maker, showing you how to help someone else through this discipleship track.

Q. What if we need more than 12 weeks?

Then take more time! We recommend covering additional topics at the end of any section as needed for your own pursuit of God. For example, if you need more time to get connected before talking about faith or the Bible, cover additional topics in Section 0. If you need more time to investigate the claims of Christianity, cover additional faith topics in Section 1. If you need more time to talk about honoring God in your daily life, cover additional topics in Section 2. Slow is fast, so take your time as you work through this discipleship track.

Q. What’s next when we finish this track?

The ultimate goal is to equip you to go “full circle” and help someone else through this discipleship track. So once you’ve completed this track, join the movement and bring someone else through it! This doesn’t mean you have to stop meeting with your group or mentor. Continue to cover additional topics from one of our sites as needed.
