Intentional Ministries

This guide is the companion to Intentional Discipleship, written for leaders taking a group through the book.

Thank you for your willingness to lead an Intentional Discipleship Group. We are excited to partner with you to make disciples. Our goal with leader training and resources is to do everything possible to equip and prepare you to be successful. This detailed monthly guide will assist you as you lead your weekly meetings. This guide provides tips and encouragement regarding weekly and monthly assignments and articles to help you recruit your group and launch well.

Encourage every man and woman in your group to have their own copy of Intentional Discipleship. It includes their reading plan, journals, and assignment summaries, giving them a place to record what God is teaching them throughout the year. Long after the group ends, it becomes a personal resource they can return to as they continue growing in their walk with God.
