Course Outline
- Modules:
Each Module and the two Encounter Weekends are stand alone components and can be purchased separately, however it has been designed as an intentional discipleship path and we recommend that you take your disciples step by step through each Module and Encounter Weekend.
- Structure:
The material has structure, yet allows freedom for discussion and self discovery. It provides the triangle of learning: through the eye-gate (verbal presentation), and the ear-gate (group discussions) and the touch-gate (writing as the answers are discovered). It is the best method of learning.
- Personal Discipline:
It is easy to read, simple in its approach, calls for the disciples’ personal involvement as they discover Bible answers for themselves, and is a good exercise in discipline.
- Sessions:
The sessions are designed in 20 to 30 minute snapshots allowing them to be taught any time any place, such as, during a lunch break or a formal group setting.
- Components:
Each session has three components.
Verbal presentation is a brief teaching of the topic by the coach; it usually takes about 20-30 minutes to present the topic and is designed in an easy-to-read format for the coach.
Personal Discovery is an easy step-by-step personal walk through the session's topic. All Scripture references and other Bible references in the Personal Discovery Section are page numbered, making it simple for new believers to navigate their way around the Bible. It usually takes about 65-85 minutes and is designed to be completed at the disciple’s own pace, usually over a week.
Personal Discovery Review is a discussion time led by the coach to ensure that the disciple has understood the session; this usually takes about 15-25 minutes depending on the size of the group. - Time frame:
While the material has been designed with maximum flexibility, it is recommended that each module be completed over a nine-week period.
- Setting:
The series can be run as a one-on-one,
in a small group,
or as a class
in any location or time frame. - Materials:
There are two manuals, one for the disciples and one for the coaches.
The Coach’s Manual has the complete presentation, filled-in answers, and questions for review and group discussion at the end of the session. - Bible:
The whole course is based upon the Spirit Filled Life Bible NKJV by Thomas Nelson Inc.
- Personal Discovery sign-off:
The coach signs off the disciple’s Personal Discovery section to confirm completion and at the end of each Module the disciple is presented with a Certificate of Completion.
- Encounter Weekend:
The Encounter Weekends are an absolute must for your disciples.
- Assistance:
The authors and their spouses are available for assistance training coaches, or hands-on support running Encounter Weekends. For further details go to our "contact us" page.
