Discipleship
Resources
Discipleship isn't just a buzzword. It's our
MISSION.
Life Bridge is committed to the ministry of discipleship because we believe every follower of Jesus is equipped to share the grace of God with others who are yet to know Him.
Below you will find resources to use across the table with those who are seeking to deepen their own relationship with Him.
Discovering
The essentials of sin, salvation, and faith in Jesus - Use these tools with individuals who are brand new to faith and are looking to learn more about the basics of following Christ.

This is Eternal Life Part I: Knowing and Serving God
This resource was developed by the pastoral staff at Life Bridge. It covers three essential areas: God's invitation to know Him, the problem of sin, and Jesus as God's solution.
How to use it:
Part I includes three "sessions," which can be covered one at a time or combined as needed. When meeting, take turns reading the passages listed and answering the questions. Some passages are printed in the book, others are simply listed, so keep a Bible handy! This resource is best suited to 1-on-1 conversations

Plethos 4D Journal
The 4D journal offers a simple, journaling based approach to discipleship. It provides a workbook for study, discussion, and reflection based on individual study of the Bible. It uses a simple format (debrief, dig, discuss, do) that creates meaningful spiritual conversations and opportunities for prayer.
How to use it:
The 4D journal is best utilized with a shared Bible reading plan. As you work through sections of the Bible together, the workbook provides a great format for growth-oriented conversations. This resource is perfect for "huddles;" that is, discipleship groups of 3-5 people.

RESOURCE
"GOD TOOLS" is an app designed to help you grow as a disciplemaker. You can use the free lessons to walk someone through the "tools," which are simple and Biblical lessons on various aspects of Christian living.

Deepening
Beyond the basics - Use these resources as you move into deeper conversations of Christian living and theology. As someone moves from discovering to deepening, they are beginning to develop their knowledge of the Scriptures, grow in spiritual formation, and live out their faith publicly as a follower of Jesus.

This is Eternal Life Part II: Living as a Disciple
Volume two of TIEL delves into next steps after someone comes to faith in Christ. The brief studies cover what it means to have an active relationship with God, living in the power of the Holy Spirit, and the life-long journey of both being a disciple and making disciples.
How to use it:
Like part I, part II includes three "sessions," which can be covered one at a time or combined as needed. Use the questions in each study as the starting point for conversation, and be sure to read the scripture references out loud together. As always, keep your Bible on hand!
