Introduction

These thoughts are intended to provide a practical introduction to discipleship generally and the discipleship of younger men specifically. I expect you “also have the Spirit” and will use your judgment as you read and serve.

Reading about discipling is not an effective method for becoming a disciple-maker. You become a desciple-maker by discipling, and you become a better discipler by discipling more. My hope is that this material will answer some basic practical questions, provide a framework to guide your thinking about your discipleship relationships, and prepare you to effectively address common issues that arise when discipling others, especially younger men.
