Disciple: Learn - Live - Lead
Who Am I Becoming?
Our heart is simple this year: That we would become disciples who make disciples.
A disciple is simply someone who is learning to follow Jesus—one step at a time.
• Only 25% of Christians say they’re in any kind of discipleship relationship.
• Only 1% of pastors feel today’s churches are doing very well at discipling new and young believers.
• Most Christians and leaders cannot clearly define what “discipleship” even is.
• Only 1 in 4 believers are being discipled.
• Only 1 in 5 leaders are actively discipling someone else.
Ezra 7:10 ESV
10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.
1. Learn
Disciples don’t drift into maturity…they commit to it!
James 1:22 NLT
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
What is God showing me and teaching me and am I allow it to shape me and mold me?
2. Live
Matthew 16:24 NIV
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Discipleship isn’t about dramatic moments….It’s about daily choices.
How am I following Jesus today? How am I responding to what God has shown me in my everyday life?
3. Lead
1 Corinthians 11:1 NLT
11 1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
Discipleship isn’t a ladder, It’s a circle.
Who is God inviting to walk with me? Who am I helping to grow closer to Jesus?
If you’re learning but not living—something’s missing.
If you’re living but not leading—something’s incomplete.
Disciples learn, live, and lead.

Talk It Over Questions
1. Who am I becoming? What honestly shapes your life the most right now—your schedule, habits, relationships, or something else?
2. LEARN: What is one thing God has been teaching or showing me recently?
3. LIVE: Where do you feel God inviting you to take a step of obedience—even if it costs comfort, convenience, or control?
4. LEAD: Discipleship isn’t a ladder—it’s a circle. Who is one person or small circle God might be prompting you to walk with, encourage, or grow alongside this year?
5. NEXT STEP: What step are you willing to take concerning discipleship in 2026?
Ask Your Kids

2. What are some things people put first instead of God?
3. What does it look like for YOU to put God first this week?
4. What "ingredients" do you need more of in your life? (prayer, reading, the Bible, forgiveness, kindness, worship)
