5 Dimensions of Discipleship

I was very interested to find this resource (see the chart below).  It is a great overview of a whole-of-life disciple, and the categories for a rounded disciple.

There is a short biblical explanation for each component here:   https://discipleshipdynamics.us/

… and a video interview with the author here:   http://www.dts.edu/thetable/play/spiritual-formation-and-personal-wholeness/#comments

Even though we could and should each apply these categories to our own lives, check and test our positions in these 40 categories, it is also a really good guide to help us with whoever we are discipling.   (I’m going to print it for the wall of my study!)

** Also note, the Discipleship Dynamics chart has changed from 40 outcomes to 35 outcomes, whereas in fact it originally had 39 (named 40) and now has 37 (named 35)!  They have removed "Love Intentionally" and "Teachable spirit" under the Healthy Relationships category.
