• Discipline 3: Sharing your faith
             You’ll find out how to share your faith story in simple, compelling
        ways—including verbally.


             “I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in
             deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the
             sake of Christ” (Philemon 6).


             • Discipline 4: Fellowship

             Jesus never intended for following him to be a solo pursuit. It’s a
        richer journey once you’ve learned these ways to connect with other dis-
        ciples in service and worship.

             “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love

             and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the
             habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as
             you see the Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:24-25).



                                         Both pray for one another.
                                         How can I pray for you?

                                         You and your discipler have just cov-
                                         ered a lot of ground together.
             Pause to pray for one another—that what you’ve discussed will sink
        deeply into your hearts and minds.



                                         Both memorize.

                                         Heart and Mind
                                         There’s great value planting God’s
                                         Word deep into your heart and mind.
             Consider memorizing this passage:


             “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these
             things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33, NASB).
