About This Resource

Most Christians want to make disciples. Very few have ever been trained to do it.

The Disciple Maker's Academy was built to close that gap. Over 26 weeks, this course walks students through the theology, methods, and practice of intentional disciple making — from understanding the Great Commission to sitting across a table from someone and opening God's Word.

This workbook is the complete student companion for the course — redesigned and made available as a digital resource. If you went through the Academy, this is your permanent reference. If you're new, this is your invitation in.
