Mack<\/p>\n<p>While discipleship is more than a program or curriculum, a number of tools can be helpful in your discipling process. Here are nine resources recommended by ministers and elders across the country:<\/p>\n<p>1. The Pastoral Epistles (especially 1 &amp; 2 Timothy)<\/p>\n<p>2. Thoroughly Equipped (available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thoroughlyequipped.org\">www.thoroughlyequipped.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>3. The Truth Project, Del Tackett (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetruthproject.org\">www.thetruthproject.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>4. Seven Keys to an Effective Ministry, Rick Warren (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pastors.com\/7keys\">www.pastors.com\/7keys<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>5. Multiply, Francis Chan (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.multiplymovement.com\">www.multiplymovement.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>6. Becoming a Disciple-Maker \/ A Call to Joy, Billie Hanks Jr. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieaom.org\">www.ieaom.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>7. Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual: Equipping Disciples Who Make Disciples, Jim Putman (amazon.com, among other websites)<\/p>\n<p>8. Called to Obedience Ministries materials (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctousa.org\">www.ctousa.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>9. Manhood Journey (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manhoodjourney.org\">www.manhoodjourney.org<\/a>), for fathers discipling sons<\/p>\n<p>A number of churches have produced discipleship and leadership development programs that fit their culture and mission. For example, Whitewater Crossing Christian Church in Cleves, Ohio (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitewatercrossing.org\">www.whitewatercrossing.org<\/a>), developed WLI (Whitewater Leadership Institute). The WLI program meets twice a month for a year to help develop key leadership skills and attitudes. Then, at the end of the year, each person recruits six to eight others and does the same thing again.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2015 Christian Standard<br \/>\nchristianstandard.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/christianstandard.com\/2015\/05\/recommended-discipleship-materials\/\">9 Recommended Discipleship Materials<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/christianstandard.com\/2015\/05\/recommended-discipleship-materials\/\"> http:\/\/christianstandard.com\/2015\/05\/recommended-discipleship-materials\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two articles with resources on discipleship.
