We want to make a few of these available to our other churches who are in the process of developing their own discipleship models and your help would be greatly appreciated! Please email your discipleship models to  [email protected] .

"The Word of God is like a straight edge, which shows our own crookedness. We can't really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture." - Elisabeth Elliot

"For the Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)
