We believe a pursuit of God happens in three steps (see the image below). First, you start a relationship with God by trusting Jesus. Next, you live to honor God in your everyday choices and habits. And finally, you look outward and help others by becoming a disciple-maker (or mentor). We call this going “full circle” as a Christian, and it’s what Jesus envisioned for all of his followers. To learn more about this, take the Foundations series with a group or mentor and subscribe to our PG Video YouTube channel.

The goal of the pursueGOD resources is to make disciple-making accessible for the average Christian. It takes 3 steps: (1) find a topic from our site (which includes a short video and text summary), (2) share the link with a friend or group so they can learn about it, and (3) get together to talk about it (using the discussion questions as needed). The key to this simple discipleship method is picking the right topic. One topic at a time, the mentor walks with the mentee until he or she goes “full circle” in a pursuit of God. Watch the video below and subscribe to our YouTube Mentor Channel for more tips.

Picking the first topic to start mentoring is pretty important. If the person you’re mentoring understand the resources, feel free to pick anything that you find interesting in the life or faith sections. But if the other person needs a bit of an introduction to the website and the tools, try our starter conversation.

Mentoring can happen in several different environments. Family mentoring happens at home when parents intentionally lead their kids or teens through weekly or daily devotionals. Group mentoring happens in churches, ministries and neighborhoods when three or more people gather to discuss topics from our sites. And individual mentoring happens whenever one person makes a commitment to walk with another person one topic at a time. Whether you’re mentoring through an official church program or on your own as a Christian, the free resources at pursueGOD.org can help you keep it biblical and helpful. Subscribe to our YouTube Mentor Channel for more tips on disciple-making.

Some people won’t be interested in using the Bible-based resources of pursueGOD.org. That’s understandable. But you can still add value to their lives by sharing topics from FLEXTALK.org, a conversation library based on common sense values (instead of explicit biblical teaching). The method is the same: one topic at a time, make an investment in another person’s life. Eventually, when the time is right, you may have an opportunity to share on some topics from pursueGOD.org. Use FLEXTALK at work, at school, or in your community. Browse FLEXTALK.org or subscribe to the FLEXTALK YouTube channel.
