Grace Life Center · The Disciplers Track

Someone walked with you. Now walk with someone.

You’ve been invited to train as a discipler — a friend with a vision, who keeps company with one person while Jesus does what only He can do. Ten weeks of preparation. One life entrusted. Never alone.

Two women walking a tree-lined road at sunset, deep in conversation.

You were walked with.

Somebody prayed for you by name. Met you weekly. Heard your worst week without flinching, and texted you a verse on an ordinary Tuesday. That’s a discipler — and someone believes you’re ready to be that for another person.

You won’t feel qualified. The first disciples didn’t either — people could only tell that they had been with Jesus. That’s still the whole qualification.

“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

2 Timothy 2:2 (NKJV)

The gospel disciplers carry

The good news is bigger than a ticket out of here. In Jesus, God has made His own presence and power available to ordinary people — now, on His earth. Being saved isn’t clearing a bar before you die; it’s becoming like Jesus while you live, by being with Him.

Nobody learns that alone. That’s why there are disciplers: heaven arrives one accompanied life at a time, until the whole earth is filled with the glory of God.

Ten weeks, plus orientation — then the real thing.

  1. Study at your pace

    A short module each week in our Harvest app: the gospel of the Kingdom · the call to make disciples · grace-based discipling · friendship and partnership · the Holy Spirit and prayer · knowing your disciple · the art of the one-on-one · walking the GLC tracks · challenges, boundaries, and care · multiplication and commissioning.

  2. Gather weekly

    One honest conversation a week with your fellow trainees.

  3. A private readiness assessment

    Before and after — just for you. Not a test; a mirror.

  4. Commissioning

    Prayed over, sent, and entrusted with one person to walk with — a coordinator behind you, pastors above you, and a room of fellow disciplers every quarter. Nobody shepherds alone.

What a discipler is — and is not

A discipler is

  • a guide
  • an encourager
  • a friend
  • a prayer-carrier
  • a question-asker
  • a companion who walks alongside their disciple’s journey in the app

A discipler is not

  • a counselor
  • a life coach
  • a theologian
  • a savior

Boundaries are part of the honor. Hard things go to pastors — a discipler never carries a crisis alone.

Count the cost — we have.

Ten weeks of training: a module and one gathering each week. Then a season of walking with one person — a weekly meeting, prayer in between, presence. Quarterly Discipler Gatherings. Confidentiality held like treasure. No cost in dollars; a real cost in self.

You will feel over your head sometimes — that is the correct depth. God’s capability, not yours, carries the rest.

If you were invited, someone already sees it in you.

Tell us who tapped your shoulder, and we’ll save your place.

Where are you on the path? (optional)

We’ll only use this to walk with you into the Disciplers Track. Nothing else.

A few honest questions

I don’t feel qualified — is that a problem?

It’s the norm. The Twelve were ordinary, unschooled men, noticed only for having been with Jesus. If you can pray, read a verse, and share your story, you can walk with someone.

How much time does this really take?

During training: a module at your pace and one gathering, weekly, for ten weeks. Afterward: about an hour a week with your disciple, and prayer in between.

What if my disciple has a crisis?

You hand it up, not carry it alone. Hard things go to pastors — that’s not failure, that’s the design.

Do I pick who I disciple?

Matching is prayerful and thoughtful — you’ll meet first, and nobody is pressured on either side.

What if it’s not working?

Then we say so honestly and re-match. Reassignment is faithfulness, not failure.

Is this the same as the Leaders Track?

No — the Leaders Track prepares people to lead ministries; the Disciplers Track prepares you to walk with one person. Many disciplers later sense that call too.
