Everyone is unique...they are at different levels of spiritual maturity and so is their way of learning.
The ideal training has a personal touch corresponding to your disciples’ personality, individual needs, and unique questions.
Disciples are not being produced through group training. Group training has its place but after a person is an active discipler. Pastors have less than 10% of their adults that they can trust to care for new Believers. Trying to produce reproducible disciple makers in a group has not worked and there is no reason to believe that will change.
As a Discipler, through meeting one on one, your gifts, aptitudes, and knowledge are best brought out.
In the disciple, self-confidence is established. In meeting one on one, you save time because you concentrate on what the disciple needs. One on one discipleship brings spiritual satisfaction and motivation for the disciple.
Our disciples tell us they make as much progress in the first lesson as they would have made in six months in a class. We see the most receptive disciples become effective 5 times faster compared to other methods.
The heart of Journey’s philosophy is total personalization, life to life.
In Journey, you never have to adapt to any preconceived system. Rather, you adapt to the way your disciple learns best and what they need most.
You won't have to adjust to general (and often impersonal) learning programs.
For discipleship, the presence of others is usually an obstacle rather than an advantage. Others will rarely share the same objectives, style, level, reactions, and spiritual needs of each other.
In groups, the slower student can be a strain, and the faster one can be just as maddening.
Group training is, more often than not, group plodding.
Trying to produce disciples in a group, some young christians become confused and disoriented by the mistakes others make. It's just as easy to become apprehensive about making mistakes in front of others. In producing a multiplying disciple, group dynamics aren't always beneficial.
Most discipleship strategies put every disciple on the same track going to the same destinations, whether they should or not, with a 90% failure rate.
And it’s not enough to learn random electives in a class, or information about being a true follower of Christ. Through personal involvement in God’s Word the disciple must take on the mind of Christ, commit to following Christ and gain the pleasure of confidence in being led by Christ. That’s an individual journey that a true Discipler can see happen. Journey is for that purpose.
Advanced or mature Christians find that Journey structures the lessons that can take each subject deeper. Journey firms the foundation in their life to build upon.
Everyone is unique...and so is their way of learning.
The ideal training has a personal touch corresponding with your personality, your individual needs, and your unique questions.
Internalizing and growing is quickest when there is a direct dialogue between guide and learner.
Through One on One Discipleship:
-
Your gifts, aptitudes, and knowledge are best brought out
-
Self-confidence is established in the first lessons
-
Motivation is high because the disciple is learning to teach
Hidden inside every believer is a Discipler.
Journey is designed to lead someone to Christ and then stay with them until they can lead others to Christ and be authorized by their Pastor to disciple them to do the same.
You can begin meeting with a lost or saved person because the first lesson is “A to Z” on Salvation and one of our most popular lessons…it lays the foundation for everything else.
