Make Disciples the Way Jesus Did

Most believers want to make disciples but don’t know where to start. Core Discipleship helps everyday believers follow Jesus’ simple, biblical, and reproducible path—so disciples are made anywhere.

You Can Make Disciples—Right Where You Are

Many Christians want to obey Jesus’ command to make disciples—but they hesitate. Common questions hold them back:

  • Do I know enough?
  • Am I the right person?
  • What if I mess it up?

Research shows these are the top barriers: fear, lack of confidence, and not knowing where to start.

The Truth

Making disciples isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about walking with Jesus and helping others do the same.

Every believer can make disciples—just like Jesus did.

Ordinary People. Extraordinary Impact.

You don’t need to be a pastor, scholar, or have a seminary degree. Some of the most effective disciple-makers are:

  • Parents
  • Workers
  • Students
  • Neighbors

Ordinary people who love Jesus and are willing to walk with others.

God Wants to Use You

Your personality, your story, your life experiences—these aren’t obstacles. They are how God has uniquely equipped you.

You don’t need to perform. Just be real. Be honest about your victories, your struggles, and your growth.

As you take simple steps of faith, God will equip you, guide you, and use you to multiply disciples.

You Are Called. You Are Empowered. You Are Not Alone. Let’s go make disciples—together.

Real Stories of Life Change Through Core Discipleship

We’re not simply doing ministry for people—we’re training and equipping believers to live and multiply the life of Jesus in people.

“The biggest blessing was learning from our instructor—his gentleness and kindness modeled truth. The materials deepened my understanding of Scripture and equipped me to disciple others. Core Discipleship helps you grow and help others grow. I recommended it!” -Michelle

“Since starting Core, my life has been transformed. Those I disciple are now reaching others—it’s become a movement in my family and church. I’ve been asked to teach and licensed as a minister. Core helped me rediscover my calling with a clear, biblical path.” -Lawrence

“This training brought real transformation in my life and others. Leaders testified to its impact—one started a discipleship group, another came to true faith in Christ. It opened my eyes to the urgent need for intentional discipleship. All glory to God!” -Abo

“Discipleship has changed my life. I learned I must first be a disciple—growing daily in Christ. It’s simple and relational: loving people with the Word. The study Sin Less vs. Sinless freed me from years of doubt. This training has truly transformed me.” -Connie

“At one point, I felt I no longer fit in church. Core reshaped my walk with God and showed me discipleship is about loving people into the kingdom, as Jesus did. I’m thankful for the day I found Core—it has been life-changing.” -Constantine

“I learned the simplicity of making disciples, which took away my doubt and fear. The training deepened my walk with Jesus, cleared misconceptions, and stirred fresh obedience to the Great Commission. I’m already leading a class and seeing good fruit.” -Patti

Simple. Biblical. Reproducible.

A. Start your discipleship group

  1. Start with Prayer. Ask God to show you who He’s already prepared for this journey. Listen quietly—He’ll make it clear.
  2. Make the Ask. Once you sense who those 2–3 people might be (men with men, women with women), invite each one personally. Say something simple like: “Would you consider going through a 14-week journey in the book of Galatians with me? I think God could use it to help us grow in faith and multiply disciples.”
  3. Set a Time. Pick a weekly time that works for everyone—60 to 90 minutes is ideal. Be consistent.
  4. Choose a Place. Find a quiet, comfortable spot—a café, living room, office, or anywhere with few distractions.
  5. Clarify the Purpose. This isn’t just a Bible study. It’s a time to grow in loving God, loving others, and learning to make disciples. From the beginning, encourage each person to pray about who they could disciple after this group.
  6. Keep It Simple. All you need is a Bible. No workbook required.
  7. Prepare Together. Before the first meeting, ask everyone to read the entire book of Galatians in one sitting. Then go chapter by chapter each week: Week 1: Galatians 1, Week 2: Galatians 2 … and so on.

B. Or, enroll in our free Basic Training and learn how to make disciples

This 14-week course is offered live on Zoom by trained instructors at different times during the year. You’ll learn the foundations of making disciples, the core beliefs of Christianity, and study the book of Galatians together. Each week includes live teaching and free downloadable lessons.

You’ll also begin praying for two or three people you could disciple in the future. By the end of the course, you’ll have the tools, confidence, and a free “Basic Training Course” to use with others. Everyone who completes the training will receive a Core Discipleship Basic Training Certificate.
