The Goal
We believe disciple-making is all about helping people become the kind of follower Jesus envisioned all along. We call Jesus’ brand of Christianity “full circle” faith, and it involves three activities:
The Strategy
The PG tools are built for relational discipleship. Every topic in our library empowers you to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with others as you help them discover the truth of God’s Word. The strategy works in 3 phases:
Invite
Invite others into life-giving conversations using a Start Page for easy access to topics.
Invest
Continue to cover topics until they’re ready for The Pursuit, our 12-week discipleship track.
Empower
Empower them to pay it forward and help the next person pursue God, just as you did with them.

Key Points:
- Jesus came to the earth to help people pursue God, and his strategy was to empower generations to do it.
- Jesus picked fishermen instead of Pharisees to make a point: regular people can do this. Matthew 4:19
- The crowds had sermons, but they needed shepherds to disciple them. Matthew 9:36-37
- Making disciples is a command, not a suggestion. Matthew 28:19-20
