The Role of a Discipleship Leader in Helping People Grow

1. Understand people's spiritual maturity

2. Understand people's next step to greater spiritual maturity.

One of the tools that Lincoln Christian Church has adopted to help with these responsibilities is the "Phrase from the Stage."  People will often let you know their level of spiritual maturity by the kinds of questions they ask and the kinds of responses they give.

Remember, a person's level of spiritual maturity is not a statement of their value to God (He loves us all!). It is a statement about what a person's next steps need to be.
