Discover A(D)

phase 1
of the Disciple-Maker Team Training

Overview & Goals

Discover A(D) is a 4-session (two-hours each) interactive workshop intensive done online or in person, that roots our relationship in Jesus and who we are in Him. We know we can only give away what we possess, so we storyboard our lives, evaluating what we’ve learned from both our pleasant and painful experiences. We see how God’s story intersects with our story, replacing lies with the truths of the Gospel, and finding our motivation for being disciple-makers in the Good News of the Kingdom. In the end, we have a Personal Calling Statement that clarifies our identity in Christ, our values, and the unique impact we want to have, where, and with whom!
