Following Christ. What's it all about?

The new Discipleship Explored course - designed to give people the time and space to think about what it really means to live the Christian life - is now available. It's an eight-week journey through Paul’s letter to the Philippians which helps new Christians think through what it means to be a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ.

2nd Edition: the same…

Discipleship Explored has been widely used for several years. Churches and groups have found it a valuable tool that God has used to change many lives. We’ve now launched the 2nd Edition of this popular course. The core strengths have stayed the same:

• a commitment to let God’s Word speak into people’s lives
• simple-to-use format including Bible studies, talks, group discussions and home Bible reading
• supported by the Discipleship Explored DVD, which was nominated for media product of the year at the CBC awards

…but different

This second edition has been completely redesigned to tie in with the hugely popular Christianity Explored course, for which Discipleship Explored is an ideal follow-up. New features include:

• comprehensive notes on setting up and running the course
• expanded training material for course leaders
• help in answering questions from Philippians as well as tough questions about Christianity in general
• the group member’s Handbook has been developed to match the Christianity Explored Handbook, so that it will feel familiar to those who have done the Christianity Explored course. Additions include summaries of previous sessions, talk outlines, a dictionary of Bible words and phrases, and background material on Philippians.

More to come

This week on the blog we're going to be talking to Barry Cooper, who wrote and presents the DVD. He'll be explaining some of the thinking behind developing Discipleship Explored. And on Friday there will be some great special offers on the new Discipleship Explored material.
