Welcome to Introduction to Discipleship: Responding to the Call. This workbook is the first of a series of three workbooks designed for Christians seeking to go deeper and high school students who want to learn more about what the Bible has to say about discipleship, Christian leadership, and living a meaningful and impacting life. The workbooks focus on three aspects of maturing as a Christian leader: - Introduction to Discipleship: Responding to the Call - CHARACTER - Introduction to Leadership: Growing in the Call - COMPETENCIES - Introduction to Life Planning: Achieving the Call - CALLING Each of these workbooks is a stand-alone study but they are also designed to complement each other. This first workbook is designed to help you gain a Biblical understanding of the 5 C's of discipleship: call, cost, character, commandment, and commission. A lifestyle of discipleship involves establishing, maintaining, and enlarging a solid "spiritual formation" foundation of purity, integrity, and maturity (I Timothy 1: 5) for a faithful, fulfilling, and fruitful life. Introduction to Discipleship: Responding to the Call is formatted using the IDEA approach of discovery learning for life transformation. Each chapter begins with an Introduction (I), followed by Discovery (D), Explanation (E), and Application (A) sections. The goal of the IDEA approach is to facilitate the "gracious work" of God through his Word and Spirit to help transform you "into his likeness with ever increasing glory..." (II Corinthians 3: 18, NIV).
