Use this study guide to discuss Organic Disciplemaking with a small group or your personal study partner. First read the chapter, either before meeting or together. Then ask the questions, beginning with the ones you think are most interesting. When the meeting has lasted long enough, you’re done! Don’t feel like you have to get to all the questions.

The key to success in one's emotional life is expressing victorious, mature love output, rather than getting love input from others. In other words, no matter how those around us behave or treat us, we are always able to express love, and in non-clinical cases this should eventually result in improved emotional health. In this paper, we look for a biblical definition of love at its best.

Many contemporary books about discipleship focus on how to be disciples of Christ rather than how to make disciples of Christ. Such books focus on personal commitment and spiritual growth. A number of books have sections on making disciples, but we are aware of relatively few complete books on the subject. Our bibliography is not exhaustive.

When moving out to lead for God, Christians should have a clear idea of what they hope to provide as leaders. Don't assume that everyone's idea of what leaders should do is the same. Think through these four areas considering carefully what leaders should and shouldn't do in each area.

We use this outline to teach disciples why the Bible is inspired by God, and what inspiration means. We usually read the text and look up the verses, asking for each what implications they see for the doctrine of inspiration.

This study is usually used as a study plan for a book of the Bible. Disciple makers will typically select a short book like Ephesians or 1 Thessalonians to study. Then they will go over this plan, demonstrating how it works in the chosen book. After getting a start while together (perhaps in the first chapter or two), disciples are challenged to do their own work before the next meeting. The discipler maker will also do fresh work on the same book and during the next meeting, they will compare their work and talk about what they have learned. The hope is that disciples will gain a sense of mastery in their ability to read the Bible and analyze what the text is saying.

This study covers principles of Bible interpretation according to the grammatical-historical approach. Most of this approach is nothing but a common sense way to establish the intent of the original author, and to balance any truth discovered with the rest of the Bible. Go over the rules, discussing why each does, or doesn't make sense. Then, look up the verses, trying to see how each illustrates the rule mentioned.

This paper is designed to be studied with a new believer. A disciple maker may give this paper to a new believer for her to read on her own, or go over it together. The language is simple and designed for anyone to understand, whether they have a church background or not. If you choose to read this together with your disciple, pause to look up the verses mentioned and discussing how they apply.
