Doug Fields: Discipleship

• 1. Discipleship cannot be reduced to programs and people
• Discipleship can be viewed as 50% Relational 50% Educational
• If student’s faith is married to a program or a person, when they are gone, their faith is gone
• 2. An “On Your Own” Discipleship philosophy is a top down philosophy
• A Discipleship Strategy is the HABITS
• H = Hangout with God
• A = Accountability with Another Believer
• B = Bible Memorization
• I = Involvement in the Church Body
• T = Tithing Commitment
• S = Study Scripture
• 3. Expectations without experimentation= Frustration
• Its better to teach people to fish versus giving them a fish
• 4. Discipleship Never Ends
• The PDYM model focuses on Discipleship as a Process versus a Program
• Connecting students to an adult leader makes the difference
