Your question this week:
Can you suggest a good discipleship program to mentor people in Christ?

There are many good discipleship curriculums but nothing take the place of a personal coach. I have found that discipleship works best in small groups. A group of 12 or less is ideal for discipleship. I have not seen very many "discipleship classes" produce long term effects. However, small group settings are life altering. When choosing a curriculum for your small group, I suggest simple, easy to read books that have discussion questions at the end of each chapter. This is not a sales pitch, but my latest book, Get Up, Get Out and Get Blessed, is designed for a small group setting. Each chapter is short and ends with discussion questions. It deals with getting over sin and building a relationship with Jesus. Don't feel that discipleship has to be an overview of doctrine. That's usually over a new converts head. Let them grow into that. Start simple. The book of Mark is a good start too.
