Disciple 13 Resources exists for one reason: to make quality discipleship resources readily available to all.

The resources on this site are free, (which I think you’ll agree qualifies as “affordable”). This is true primarily because great resources don’t do you much good if you can’t afford them.

The materials available for download make use of a small group format. That means Disciple 13 Bible Studies have been written as small group discussion guides.

Why is that?

The small group format is driven by discussion and self discovery. This makes it a powerful and effective learning venue, which is perfect for Bible study.

Who are Disciple 13 Resources written for? Disciples.

Currently available are what can be thought of as “Basic Discipleship” resources. These are appropriate for small groups made up of individuals who have already committed themselves to Jesus and who are interested in exploring basic concepts of that commitment. These resources are applicable to a wide age range—high school students, college students, young adults and even older folks who are open to a small group learning format.

The current plan is to one day make available “Advanced Discipleship” resources as well.

Disciple 13 Resources was created by a guy named Adam Martin, (me). My education is in youth ministry and Christian education. I have long had a passion for writing curriculum and teaching. It is my hope that this project will serve as a way of ministering to others.

I am also available for small groups consultation & training as well as speaking engagements. For more information, email me.

Henri Nouwen once wrote:

“Help me, O Lord, to let my old self die, to let die the thousand big and small ways in which I am still building up my false self and trying to cling to my false desires. Let me be reborn in you and see through you the world in the right way, so that all my actions, words and thoughts can become a hymn of praise to you,” (from A Cry for Mercy).

This is my prayer, too, and this is the struggle of discipleship. May God draw you closer to himself and bless your discipleship journey in ways you have not even yet imagined.
