Francis Chan addresses the shift from passive church attendance to active participation in the Great Commission. The text provides a twenty-four-unit curriculum divided into sections that cover the nature of discipleship, the local church's function, and a chronological breakdown of the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation. Chan emphasizes that every Christian is responsible for teaching others to follow Jesus, moving beyond a dependence on professional clergy. He provides specific methods for studying scripture within small groups and suggests frameworks for explaining complex theological concepts to those unfamiliar with the Bible.
This book serves local church leaders, small group facilitators, and individuals seeking a structured approach to mentoring new believers. Readers use these materials to build confidence in their ability to communicate biblical truth without formal seminary training. The primary takeaway is a practical roadmap for identifying potential students and leading them through a foundational understanding of Christian doctrine. By the end, the reader possesses a toolkit for replicating their faith within their own community through one-on-one or small-group interaction.
