Every Christian needs God’s truth and community
After you have connected with the nonbelievers in your life and shared the gospel with them, anyone who trusts in Christ needs to be established in their faith. This is called discipling. In reality, every Christian needs to get rooted in the basic truths related to being a Christian and to get connected with a community of believers to continue learning. This is the ESTABLISH phase of lifestyle disciplemaking.
- Read the blog, “Establish: Give Believers Strong Roots” to find out what they need to know.
- Get the Live Out His Love Bible Study. Lifestyle disciplemaking “CONNECT” and “ESTABLISH” activities are interwoven throughout this study of New Testament women.
- If you are a ministry leader, host a “Leap into Lifestyle Disciplemaking” retreat or conference for the women of your church.

I’ve been looking for a short simple bible study to do with a new believer. She lives far away from me and does not have access to open anything that I send to her phone. Do you have any studies that come in book form that I could purchase for us?
Thank you
Yes, Margaret. Use “A Fresh Start” with her. That study is short and easy, designed for new believers and anyone new to the Bible. It comes in paperback through Amazon as well as fillable pdf form. You can access both of those by going to the “A Fresh Start” page here.
