ASSESS THE HEALTH OF THEIR DISCIPLESHIP

DISCIPLES

How are Discipleship Meetings going?

  • Are they living life-on-life – inviting disciples deeply into their lives?
  • Is “Look Up, Look In, and Look Out” happening? Explicitly each week, or throughout
  • Is the Word of God & obedience at the center? What resources are they leveraging?

​

High Invitation: How loved and supported do the disciples feel?

  • How often are disciplers praying/interceding for people they’re discipling?
  • To what extent would the people they’re discipling describe them as an advocate,champion, and friend?
  • How often do they honor, affirm, and encourage?

​

High Challenge: How challenged to grow, obey, and share with others are they?

  • What examples are they setting from their own lives?
  • What does accountability to what disciples have shared in past weeks look like?
  • Are the disciples making disciples yet, or at least aiming to?
