Cohort Description

We’re all called to make disciples of Jesus Christ. It sounds simple enough—help others follow Jesus as they grow in their love and knowledge of him—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The Demystifying Discipleship cohort will provide clarity and build confidence for both the older and younger woman as we learn from experienced women’s ministry leaders. In this six-week virtual cohort you’ll hear best practices from women who’ve thought long and hard about discipleship and implemented it in a variety of settings. 

 

This cohort is for any woman who wants to disciple others, be discipled, or see discipleship permeate her church culture. Whether you’re already mentoring younger women or want to disciple others for the first time, this cohort will equip you with practices to facilitate deeper discipleship relationships. If you long for someone older in the faith to walk alongside you, you’ll gain insight on how to invite someone to disciple you, what questions to ask when you meet, and ways to make the most of your time together. If you’re a women’s ministry leader, you’ll hear strategies to build a robust culture of discipleship among the women in your church. For anyone who longs to think more deeply about incorporating discipleship into your life and ministry, join us for Demystifying Discipleship.

 

With your registration you will receive:

  • Live or on-demand discipleship teaching from experienced women’s ministry leaders
  • Live extended Q&A with teachers each week*
  • Connection and fellowship with women in your small group*
  • Recommended resources to help you grow in discipleship
  • Exclusive discounts on curated discipleship resources

*Included in the live interactive cohort only. The on-demand anytime access includes access to the pre-recorded teaching sessions, a live Q&A with TGC staff on March 13, 2025 at 8:15 p.m. ET, and cohort resources during the cohort and until April 7, 2025.
