How Do I Disciple Others? (Church Questions)

Practical, Biblical Advice for Encouraging Fellow Believers and Helping Them Grow in Spiritual Maturity

If you are a believer in Christ, you are a disciple. Now, it’s time to disciple others. The thought of leading someone else on their faith journey may seem daunting―after all, no one can be a perfect example. But God uses the imperfect faith of faithful believers to help others become more like Jesus.

In this addition to the Church Questions series, J. Garrett Kell equips readers to intentionally invest in the lives of fellow church members and family. Through Scripture and personal examples, he emphasizes why biblical discipleship is essential and challenges the obstacles that may discourage Christians from initiating these relationships. This concise and engaging guide also explains how to find someone to disciple, healthy discipleship practices and posture, and pitfalls to avoid―empowering church members to cultivate spiritual growth in their communities.
