Resources for Disciple-Makers
What is a discipleship partner?
A discipleship partner is a little bit like a sponsor for someone in recovery. It is someone who has walked the road of building a new life in Christ themselves. They offer encouragement, strength, hope, and wisdom as a follower of Jesus. They come alongside a participant seeking to build a new life in Jesus in a humble, encouraging, and godly way. Their main focus is to help a person understand and apply the teaching from Jesus they are discovering through Starting Over.
What are the responsibilities of a discipleship partner?
Commit to spending time walking with a person through the book
Personally practice the truths and principles being taught
Pray for the person you are discipling daily
Discuss the weekly Starting Over reading, accompanying video session, and help the participant discover how it applies to their life right now
Assist them in connecting with other community resources should they have a physical or emergency need
