“Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8Īs we help others walk with Jesus, one of the most impactful things we can do is show them what it looks like to follow Jesus in our own lives. I love how 1 Thessalonians 2:8 says this so well: Grow in your relationship to one another and to God. Welcome them into your home and your life. So, while the content for discipleship is so important, I also want to remind you that it is about sharing our lives with those we are pouring into. Discipling others is not just sharing content with them, but sharing our lives with them as we walk alongside one another, modeling what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus ourselves. It is also not the only component to discipleship. This list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of topics to cover, but a starting point in thinking about where to begin or where to go from where you are already at.
Over the years, I have built up a list of basic discipleship topics that are helpful to cover with those I am discipling. It can be overwhelming to know where to start!
