Five Traits of a Disciplemaker

What Distinguishes a Follower of Jesus?

Before Jesus left this world, he called on his followers to make disciples. Five Traits of a Disciplemaker helps followers of Jesus organize their lives around a dynamic relationship with God that draws more and more people into the body of Christ.

The contributors to this devotional—each with a long history of knowing Christ, making Him known, and helping others do the same—see five “core competencies” as critical to authentic discipleship:

1. Walking with Jesus

2. Knowing and living the Scriptures

3. Participating in community

4. Engaging with those who don’t know Christ

5. Reproducing spiritual generations

Spend a month with a master class of disciplemakers and find yourself growing in your capacity and enthusiasm for following Christ.
