Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Frank Harber interviews Andy Spencer about Big Deal Discipleship.
What are some good discipleship materials? Andy Spencer has formulated a unique tool for discipleship. The Big Deal Discipleship Series is an attempt to streamline discipleship. Big Deal Discipleship is a unique discipleship tool that equips you to hold others accountable to holy living and be held accountable yourself. The Big Deal Discipleship material has been built around God's Word to help you ground your life in the truth of the Gospel. There is a series of questions for each meeting that help you ask and answer the tough questions, which in turn helps refine you spiritually in your walk with God. The Big Deal Discipleship Series is a simple way for people to meet and have 50 discussions about important truths from the Bible and our lives.
