Getting Started with the Discipleship Cycle
The Discipleship Cycle is a simple mobile app to encourage people to become more like Jesus and engage with those around them. You can do this on your own or connect with friends.
D – Discipleship
N – eNgagement
A – Authenticity
If you’re serious about developing as a follower of Jesus Christ you will need to pay attention to all three – up, out, and in.
How does it work:
The discipleship cycle is a simple way to read the Bible more intentionally, either on your own or with two or three others. It’s often best to choose a passage and stick with it – try reading different bible verses on the Discipleship app, and see how God speaks to you through these verses over the next six months.
The 4 parts of the cycle
Listening: (Stage 1 of the discipleship cycle)
Listening to God, listening to others, and listening to ourselves are all important ways to hear God’s voice, but our most reliable starting place is listening to God’s voice through scripture. Start with any passage on our app and then read until something tempts you to highlight.
Looking: (Stage 2 of the discipleship cycle)
Jesus did only what he ‘saw’ his Father doing. What is God up to in the lives of those around me? God’s word may prompt us to look:
UP (Our relationship with God)
OUT (Our relationship with others)
IN (Our own authenticity)
We use DNA (Discipleship, eNgagement, Authenticity) as a shorthand for these.
Living: (Stage 3 of the discipleship cycle)
Living out faithfully whatever God is speaking into our lives, sometimes in a hostile environment, has been our Christian vocation since the 1st Century. Obeying God often involves a change of will; if Jesus needed to consciously pray ‘not my will but yours’, how much more do we? It is, however, in obeying that we discover the reality of God, rather than remaining in our comfort zones.
Learning: (Stage 4 of the discipleship cycle)
Learning is at the heart of the meaning of the word ‘disciple’. We need to gain more than intellectual understanding – we need a change of heart if we are to reveal the likeness of Jesus day to day. Discerning where to sow the seed of God’s word, nourishing its growth, and then learning from the result, including our mistakes, is the way our heart will be changed.
Our prayer for you is that by using The Disclpship Cycle app it would help you to grow closer to God as you reflect on his Word.
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you
Ephesians 1:17-18
