Sorry for the duplicate post (for those that read this blog and my family’s blog. Here’s a rough translation of the content I’m looking for in the “Final Project” for my Discipleship in Youth Ministry Class that I thought would be helpful here:
- Your definition of discipleship and an explanation of that definition.
- In general terms, what is it that you want to achieve in the lives of the young people in your discipleship program?
- What specific objectives are there for the young people? Remember that there are levels of discipleship. Which objectives are there for each level (new Christian, Christian, etc)? Put these objectives in order of importance. What things are necessary for which level?
- What role do small groups play in your ideal program?
- What will an ideal small group look like?

I just finished making a Squidoo Lens on Youth Discipleship. It includes a lot of what I have written here and elsewhere on discipleship, as well as some links to various places that talk about youth discipleship. I’d love for you to check it out, rank it, and comment on it, too. Let me know if I should add anything to it. I’m sure there are tons of resources that could be on there that aren’t. So, let me know, and I’ll add them.
Oh, yeah, if you get the urge to make your own Squidoo lens, click here before you sign up to tell them I referred you.

I’m working on a project that involves a lot of thinking about discipleship. When we say the word “discipleship,” we all think of something different. Here’s a little of what I think discipleship is not. When I say it is NOT these things, I mean that it is not SIMPLY these things. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
A Bible study group or Sunday school class. These things could be considered part of discipleship, but they can no way be the entire discipleship process for a person. We cannot be formed simply in a classroom.
A follow-up class for “new believers.” No, it is not true that we can give them a 12 week class and consider them disciples. Many discipleship programs stop at this. Instead of connecting them for life with people who care for their spiritual well-being, we farm them through a class and then let them go out into the rest of the Bible studies we offer, hoping they land somewhere that will help them with their formation.
