Answering Christ's Call is a discipleship-training course designed to transition ordinary Christian believers, who have made a firm commitment to Christ, into participants in the ministry of Jesus. Biblical teaching and experience with the Holy Spirit in processing thousands of believers across the nations undergirds the training in which you are about to be engaged. We invite you to come and learn about the ways of God. It will be challenging to those processed in contemporary church, but exciting to see God equipping ordinary believers to do the very works that Jesus did as He walked the earth in human form some two thousand years ago.
The Discipleship Training Course: Course 101 is from the series, I hear what you're saying...but I don't understand. Each workbook has seven specific topics that every Christian should know God's views concerning the subjects. In course 101 you will find topics such as Satan as the tempter, how we should control our mouths, and the wisdom of God. This is a perfect workbook to use for bible study. Whether it is used as an individual study tool, or a small group workbook or, even a large group study you will find that the effectiveness of the workbook is the same. The user will want to use this workbook over, and over again. It makes a great refresher courses.
The Call to Discipleship and What It Means to Follow Jesus is based on sound biblical truths. Every Scripture verse is inspired by God and given to the Holy Spirit for teaching disciples of Jesus Christ how to live holy and godly lives. For some, the Truth was made known early on in childhood by the Holy Spirit "giving wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus”(2 Timothy 3:15, New American Standard Bible, [NASB]).
Discipleship is fundamental to the Christian experience. Jesus called and trained his disciples and commissioned them to go and make disciples of others (Matthew 28:19-20). That command compels Christians today and is the primary task of the Church. This course is designed to help you fulfill Christ's call to -come and follow me- (Matthew 16:24). These 34 lessons provide the foundational beliefs and behaviors of a mature disciple. Even though this course was created for new Christians, those who have not been intentionally discipled will grow through these lessons. You can use this as a foundation for your own personal Bible study or better yet, study with another Christian or in a group of fellow believers to grow in your knowledge of the Bible and live as mature disciples of Jesus.
Question: What is the God-given purpose of the local church? Answer: Relational discipleship. DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the fundamental biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities. Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. While many of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciples—helping people to trust and follow Jesus—is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationships with non-believers. Through biblical and professional insights, Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington discuss the transformational effectiveness of making disciples and just how to do so, in practical terms. You’ll learn: The specific roles of a disciple-making pastor. The components of person-to-person discipleship. How each ministry in your church leads to discipleship. How to implement discipleship in your church. Disciple-making leaders will not produce perfect churches, but they will create effective churches.
This New Ministers Training series will provide new ministers with a solid foundation to better enable them to serve their pastors and God's people. It will also give them the basics necessary to begin their personal development.

We plan to accomplish our mission through a well-rounded six-week training course, which will be broken down as follows: Class 1: The Call of GodClass 2: The Voice of GodClass 3: The Word of GodClass 4: Ministry / Servant LeadershipClass 5: The SacramentsClass 6: Leadership 101
This Evangelism & Discipleship Training series will positively affect the current condition of the church in regards to sharing the gospel of Jesus with others and equipping new believers with the necessary tools to live an effective Christian life. Students will receive an understanding of Jesus' command to us to witness, have a healthy knowledge of foundational Christian doctrine, and learn witnessing techniques, discipleship principles and discipleship techniques. This we do in accordance with Ephesians 4:12, where the apostle Paul explains the role of Christian leaders. This role he explains to be "the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

Most of the names were given to them by themselves, but there were two exceptions. The name “Christian” was someone's joke. The inhabitants of Antioch found this a very suitable title for these people. And then there was another word which was taken over from more common use, and, whilst not particularly their own choice for themselves, it became the name by which they were more usually known than any other.
"DON'T read this book if you want to remain comfortable! Eric challenges us to consider what Biblical discipleship looks like based on what Jesus did. Eric writes this book with the integrity of a man who is not merely theorizing about the way things ought to be, rather he is describing what is actually happening as he builds Biblical disciples in the context of the inner city. This book is soundly Biblical, challenging and practical. This book is about building disciples not programs." Roger Hershey, Campus Crusade For Christ "It is a joy to highly commend to all Discipleship Defined, for it is exactly the prescription that is needed for the Church to regain much of our lost effectiveness. "Discipleship Defined" has carefully described, yet without programming it into a rigid system, how to go about this challenging task." Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "Eric Russ gives us some very straight forward thinking about discipleship, a topic widely misunderstood and undervalued. Moving away from piety-driven discipleship, Russ points us toward a holistic, Christ-centered way of following Jesus." Jonathan Dodson, Lead Pastor Austin City Life, Austin, TX. "Eric has a healthy obsession about strong discipleship, and it shows in a gracious way in this guidebook for muscular commitment. Can you be obsessed and still have a gracious spirit? Eric does, and so does this book!" Knute Larson, Senior Pastor The Chapel, Akron, OH (1983-2009) Eric Russ is lead pastor of Mack Avenue Community Church in Detroit, Michigan. He is married to Sara and has four children. For more information visit www.discipleshipdefined.com or www.mackave.com.
