Ever since the Navigators’ web site, www.NavPress.com, introduced a special section called “Discipleship Inside Out,” a lot of their regular customers have started learning how to transform their lives through the work of the Holy Spirit.  Using Discipleship Inside Out, Bible students and new believers alike can answer the question – “what is discipleship?”

As a publisher of Christian books, NavPress offers a way to transform the hearts and minds of believers as they discover the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When new Christians reach out for spiritual guidance from mature believers, they will often enter into a discipleship relationship.  Fortunately, the Navigators offer numerous books and tools that help people become better mentors.

By answering the question, “What is Discipleship?” Discipleship Inside Out helps readers transform their relationships, their character, their service and their influence.   They do this by using four guiding principles – Establish, Engage, Equip and Empower.

Establish – By guiding and establishing their relationship with God and others, new believers can discover the truth and grace that helps them define who they really are and how they should live.

Engage – In the pursuit of “Christlikeness,” believers engage in spiritual disciplines that have a profound impact on their behavior, character and decision-making ability.

Equip – In order to transform oneself, the tools and support for growth must be available for one to serve in a ministry.

Empower – Believers can only experience the total transformation of their being through the power of God.  When they are fully empowered, the result is forgiveness, healing and freedom, allowing them to become a better influence on their friends, family and community.

These four guiding principles are just one small part of the Navigators’ answer to “What is Discipleship?”  Discipleship Inside Out also offers a wealth of recommended books by authors who are familiar with developing disciples within the church community.  Only when new believers are mentored by mature Christians in the body of Christ can they become equipped for total transformation.  By becoming well-versed in discipleship, ministry leaders can help new believers become prepared for service within their local church and beyond.
