Multiplying Faith: Training Students to Disciple Others

Catch the podcast here!

Introduction
Keith and Ryne introduce the topic of multiplying faith by training students to disciple others, emphasizing that disciple-making is essential.

Evangelism and Discipleship
Evangelism and discipleship are equally important, like the two wings of an airplane.


10K in May Challenge 
An initiative is launched to encourage students to have 10,000 gospel conversations in May. Youth leaders can sign up to receive free kits with bracelets and resources to help students share the gospel. The goal is to help students overcome mental barriers and realize how easy it can be to share their faith.

Five Ways to Multiply Faith 
Keith and Ryne share five ways to train students to disciple others:

  • Keep the healthy healthy: Invest in students who are already strong in their faith and encourage them to disciple others.
  • Avoid the trap of "going deeper": Focus on the core message of the gospel rather than getting lost in complex theological concepts.
  • Clearly explain what a new believer needs: Simplify the essentials for new believers: God's word and a good church.
  • Provide accountability: Create environments where students can hold each other accountable in their faith journeys.
  • Challenge them to do it: Encourage students to step out and disciple others, providing immediate opportunities for them to do so.


Call to Action 
The hosts encourage viewers to sign up for the 10K in May challenge and join the Beyond the Youth Room community. They also ask viewers to like, share, and subscribe to the video to help more youth pastors reach more students with the gospel.
