3. Discipleship Philosophy
Idiocracy
Can you describe an experience with a Salvation Army
program that was highly creative or contextualized?
Can you relate an example from your experience of sitting
through classical “idiotic” instruction?
How about the opposite, can you tell us about an instructor
or teacher that thrived in the classroom and with their
students?
No more (classical) idiots!

4. Discipleship Philosophy
The Staircaise of Discipleship and the Donut Corps
Tell me about your corps that you came from: is there a
functioning staircase of discipleship, or is it a donut corps?

5. Discipleship Philosophy
The Scandal of the Salvationist Mind
Are there other reasons our denomination might
overemphasize evangelism and outreach over discipleship?
Why might people overemphasize a holiness experience
over a progression of discipleship?
“The result [of out theological systems] was a tendancy
toward a Docetism in outlook and a Gnosticism in method
that together constitute the central intellectual indictment
against the fundamentalist past.” – Mark Knoll

6. Discipleship Philosophy
The 150-Year Death Notice
What do you think you need to disciple effectively?
How can I and others at THQ help you in this work?
It’s going to be 18 months until you reach your first
appointment. What can you do in the meantime to prepare
yourself for a discipling ministry?
