From Believer to Disciple: Following Jes...

Don't Mom Alone Podcast
About this episode
Do you often desire to disciple your neighbors, friends, or acquaintances but don’t know how? 

Today Courtney Garrett joins me to talk about her amazing tools to help Christians invite people into going deeper with Jesus. She is an accidental homeschool mom with years of ministry experience who saw a need for discipleship tools. Often people have grown up in church and pieced Bible stories together but they may have gaps in their view of God and His character. Courtney has written 101 Christianity -a study to help direct conversation and lead people to follow Jesus. Here are some topics we cover…

  • The difference between being a believer and a committed follower of Jesus
  • Stories of high school and college students using 101 Christianity to lead well
  • How to ask people into a discipleship study in a gracious way 
  • How knowing the character of God can help in hard times 
  • Ideas for discipleship with your family
