Huddle Guide: Discipling Manual
Huddles are about following Jesus alongside others.
In this guide, you'll see how Jesus gathered His followers, asking them to come close, listen to His teaching, watch how He interacted with others, and follow His example. Jesus’ life and ministry radically transformed their understanding of religion, from rules and regulations to loving God and loving others.
It’s our job to accept Jesus’ invitation to join Him in bringing hope and healing to the broken places of our world.

Jesus walked the shores of Galilee and called ordinary fishermen to drop their nets to follow Him. "Follow me" was an invitation to believe in and follow Jesus. Which is why the leaders of Grace Church focused their efforts in 2010 to launch the Way of Discipleship to aggressively respond to the Great Commission to "go and make disciples of all nations." The Way of Discipleship is focused on learning and embracing 11 essential practices to following Jesus Christ. The Way of Discipleship helps to shape our character (who we are) and our calling (what we do). Like a tree, the Way of Discipleship roots us in Christ, provides stability to weather the storms of life and branches out to bear fruit in our lives. This resource is a tool to facilitate this relationship over a period of one-to-three years to integrate these practices into one's life.
Corinne Gunter was one of the authors of the Way of Discipleship for Grace Church (Noblesville, Indiana). The Way of Discipleship is available on Amazon.
