Discipleship Pathway Introduction

This leader's guide will give you a general idea of how

Discipleship Pathway was designed to be used, but please

adapt it for whatever works best in your situation.

All of the lessons can be downloaded from the website,

oubcm.com/resources . Each lesson has a separate leader’s

guide with answers ( in blue italics ) and suggestions specific

to that lesson ( in red italics ).

None of this material is original, it is entirely compiled and

adapted from wiser sources. The title page of each lesson

has a bibliography of where the material for that lesson

came from if you want to dig deeper.

This series begins each lesson by teaching the why and

follows with the how, including some specific methods. If

there is a method you prefer more, teach that instead. As the

famous quote says,

“Methods are many, principles are few. Methods always change, but principles never do.”

When printing, Discipleship Pathway was designed to be

folded in half into a booklet. Print double sided, flipping on

the short edge. There are page numbers for reference to

make sure the lesson is printed and folded correctly.

This series is designed with new or baby Christians in mind.

Words familiar to church goers, but unfamiliar to the

unchurched, have been limited as much as possible. These

lessons are short and simple.

Ideally, they can be finished within 10-30 minutes, depending on the lesson and if there

are any spiritual disciplines to practice with your disciple.

Below is the suggested order for the lessons, but you know

your context and what is most helpful.

Two topics critical to cover before this series are the gospel and assurance of

salvation. Billy Graham's Steps to Peace with God tract, and

the Navigator’s Beginning with Christ are excellent for those.

1) 7 Minutes with God

2) God is... Hand Illustration

3) Scripture Memory

4) The Local Church

5) Evangelism

6) Personal Relationships

7) Prayer

8) Baptism

9) Ministry Responsibilities

This series is designed to be walked through in one

semester (~11-16 weeks), depending on number of missed

weeks, tangent topics, etc.
