Learn how a successful Discipleship program addresses two challenges facing every church: 1) members leaving the church through the proverbial back door, and 2) members becoming complacent.

This course on the “Introduction To Discipleship Training” presented by Jim Howard, was fast-paced and informative. You had an option though, to pause the video portion for further review. This course provided me with biblical tools associated with 5 steps towards ongoing discipleship within and out of the church community. This is also a structured introduction to the Discipleship Handbook which is offered to continue this process. I also enjoyed the live audience interaction towards the end of Jim Howard’s presentation. This interaction helped stimulate my own thoughts on the subject of implementing discipleship.
This course is well worth the more than affordable price.  If you have a burning desire for soul winning, this course is a great introduction!
