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
