Every disciple benefits from a cheerleader, challenger, and guide–from brand new Christian to the mature disciple. I tend to prefer the name, Encourager.
The practice of conversational discipleship is needed today as you walk through life filled with teachable moment after teachable moment. Study God’s Word.
Whose disciples are you making? This is a serious question demanding caution and a serious response. There are only 2 acceptable answers: self and Jesus.

Two encounters are critical. First, the leader encounters God in His Word and is changed. Second, the leader guides the group to have a life-changing encounter.
