The Big 5: Foundational Habits for Discipleship

by Paul Worcester

National Collegiate Director, North American Mission Board

We have a limited time with each person that we disciple. How do we choose what truths and habits to instill in them?

I have chosen five spiritual disciplines that I emphasize to those I disciple. These habits can transform all who engage in them, but they must be practiced out of a desire to grow in love for Jesus and love for others.

“The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a
sincere faith.” – 1 Timothy 1:5

Read about these five habits below. Underline what stands out to you and write down your answers for the reflection questions.
