Discipleship Resources

The following are resources that I have found very helpful over the years

The Bible Project: Don’t be fooled by the animation videos, the quality and level of teaching in every Bible project production is top notch. I highly recommend their Bible overview videos before reading a book of the Bible. Their newer Word study series is also fascinating, and if you want to go really in depth check out the Bible Project Podcasts.
Christian Apologetics Research Ministry: So much good stuff on this website ranging from discipleship to apologetics to world religions.
Josh McDowell Ministries: This is another great website with a whole host of helpful topics, from apologetics to parenting to discipleship to purity.

Tortured for Christ: This book is the testimony of Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian pastor who was jailed and tortured for 13 years under the Communists. It was one of the most gripping, shaping books I have ever read.
The Purpose Driven Life: I’ve got to be honest, I did not want to like this book because I cringe at most things embraced by pop Christian culture. But it’s a genuinely good 40 day devotional book that will push you to evaluate whether you are truly living for Christ.
The Counterpoints Series: If you really want to dive into a theological or church issue, and you’d like to understand why there are multiple views on an issue that seems cut and dry to you, check out this series. I’ve read 4 or 5, and they have all been helpful. Each topic, such as (Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design) is addressed by a Christian who is an expert in their particular field and view. After their chapter, the other 3 authors critique the chapter from a Biblical standpoint. Then the next author has their turn. You’ll learn so much from this method.
Spiritual Leadership: This is a classic book by J. Oswald Sanders. I read it in college, and 20 years later picked it up again, marveling at how encouraging and challenging Sander’s words were to me.
