How to use the Library · Discipleshift Library

What it is

Not information to collect.

You take what you need, teach it, and pass it on.

It is

A free library. Every resource is free to read and download.
A toolbox for teachers. A pastor or leader anywhere can take a lesson and teach it the same week.
Built on one foundation. One God, revealed in Jesus Christ. Salvation through repentance, baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

It is not

A shop. Nothing is for sale. Nothing is locked.
A course for a certificate. There is no test to pass and nothing to finish.
A replacement for the church. People are discipled by people who walk with them.

"And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."

2 Timothy 2:2, NKJV

Why it exists

Teaching that is meant to be passed on.

Paul did not tell Timothy to keep the teaching. He told him to hand it on.

To form disciples The goal is a changed heart, not more knowledge.

To equip leaders Ready-to-teach lessons with teacher notes and discussion questions.

To keep the truth clear Every resource stands on the same Apostolic foundation and is taught from the New King James Version.

To reach the nations The library is translated into other languages, so the teaching can travel.

One thing to remember

This library cannot disciple anyone on its own. People are discipled by people who walk with them.

The files are seed. You still have to sow.
