Summary

Do you often desire to disciple your neighbors, friends, or acquaintances but don’t know how?

Today Courtney Garrett joins me to talk about her amazing tools to help Christians invite people into going deeper with Jesus. She is an accidental homeschool mom with years of ministry experience who saw a need for discipleship tools. Often people have grown up in church and pieced Bible stories together but they may have gaps in their view of God and His character. Courtney has written 101 Christianity -a study to help direct conversation and lead people to follow Jesus. Here are some topics we cover…

The difference between being a believer and a committed follower of Jesus
Stories of high school and college students using 101 Christianity to lead well
How to ask people into a discipleship study in a gracious way
How knowing the character of God can help in hard times
Ideas for discipleship with your family

0:00.0	Hey, y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.
0:10.4	I'm your host, Heather McFadion, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you
0:14.1	and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.
0:18.6	And in this episode number 516, I'm welcoming to the show, Courtney Garrett.
0:25.1	Discipleship should lead to disciple making, which is sharing with others what you know to be true about Jesus.
0:33.9	So disciple making makes it sound like I'm making other disciples, and that sounds daunting, but all
0:39.6	you're doing is sharing what you know. And so I think in the Western church, and we're just a little
0:45.5	more individualistic, we're kind of inward sometimes, and so we can get stuck just thinking,
0:51.0	well, what am I studying? What am I learning? But disciple making focuses your
0:55.0	eyes outward and helps you see the need that others have to know what you know. Courtney is a mom.
1:01.9	She also has her degree from Dallas Theological Seminary, and she has served in the past as
1:06.6	director of women's discipleship at her home church in Houston, Texas. And it was through all of her
1:11.8	experiences that she discovered, while there are so many great Bible studies available, there was a void.
1:18.0	She couldn't find a basic study that provided a simple yet comprehensive foundation for those
1:24.6	who were seeking or maybe new to their faith.
1:33.6	So she decided to create the thing that she couldn't find and started the 101 Christianity resources.
1:35.3	She has so many great options.
1:36.8	You should definitely check out in the link in the show notes.
1:39.2	And we're going to hear more about it today.
1:41.0	Let's get right to it.
1:42.2	Here we go.
1:43.9	Courtney, welcome to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.
