Relational Discipleship | A 3Story Approach

If you’ve ever sat across the table from a student, a friend, or a fellow believer and thought, “I wish I knew how to walk with them in their faith,”—you’re not alone. Discipleship isn’t just a church word or a Bible study concept. It’s a way of life. A way of following Jesus that doesn’t just fill our heads, but changes our hearts—and the hearts of those we journey with.

This 7-day blog series is built around one core belief: real discipleship happens through real relationships. It’s not about programs or perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about faithful adults investing in others the way Jesus invested in His followers. It’s about knowing Scripture deeply, praying fervently, loving sacrificially, and doing life together in a way that actually reflects the Gospel.

You’ll notice this series is shaped by the values that have formed many of us:

  • From the emphasis on verse-by-verse Bible teaching and reliance on the Holy Spirit,
  • To the 3Story model from Youth For Christ, where authentic relationships, widespread prayer, and empowered leadership are at the center.

Over the next seven days, we’ll unpack how relational discipleship works—and more importantly, how you can live it out. Whether you’re in youth ministry, leading a small group, parenting, or just wanting to follow Jesus more faithfully alongside others, there’s a place for you in this conversation.
