About this ebook
Everyone is being discipled. The question is: what is discipling us?
The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples.

Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples.
There are three indispensable elements of discipleship:
Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples.

- Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines)
Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.
