Preparing Your Distinctive Discipleship Plan

The Distinctive Discipleship plan is a targeted guide to mature you for a set time.

This plan is good for an individual, better with a partner, but best with a mentor.

Through our time together, we have looked at 6 categories from Col. 1:27-29 that help us narrow down items that need to be addressed next for our spiritual growth.

1. I need to delight in Jesus more than:
2. My disobedience that must be addressed is:
3. The pivotal doctrine for me to study is:
4. I need development in learning how to:
5. I will focus on the spiritual discipline of:
6. My prayers of dependence will ask God to:

As a church, we want to commit these plans to the Lord's work in our lives. I would recommend you spend some time in the coming days of prayerfully considering what you want to emphasize in your life during this season.
