The Discipleship Offering has been developed to focus uniquely on the discipleship of men. The basis of the effort is a derivative work of the BounceBack Devotional and Journal for Men and the BounceBack Precept Model.
The underlying thesis is based upon the scripture passage found in Ezekiel 4:15-16 which clearly lends to the thought of discipleship, that is, God did not intend us to go through life alone–but instead, he intended us to be connected through the Body of Christ to supply unto one another in Christian love.
The curriculum as developed consists of 13 lessons that are conducted on a regular period basis, be that 13 days, 13 weeks or even 13 months. The expected outcome of the lessons is to ensure that men grow and mature in their Christian walk and become disciples of Christ to other men.
The 13-Week Discipleship Class will focus on the following topical areas. These areas of the curriculum are built off of the BounceBack Precept Model to provide an identifiable target as the men grow in the following areas of development:
