A study guide for each participant on Discipleship Explored: Universal Edition
Part of the Discipleship Explored series.
The Discipleship Explored: Universal Edition study guide is for each participant on the course. Each study includes an introductory discussion question, 10-12 questions on the Bible passage and a closing suggestion for prayer.
Discipleship Explored is for anyone who wants to make the most of their Christian lives, but especially for people who have recently completed an evangelistic course and decided to follow Christ.
The DE: Universal Edition features a series of Bible studies through Philippians which can be used on their own, or in conjunction with the Discipleship Explored DVD.
The studies are designed to be universally accessible with a special emphasis on clear and simple English, making them suitable for use with internationals who are learning English (see the International Version of the study guide) and for anyone else who appreciates really clear and simple language. The Bible studies will also suit regular Bible-study groups and anyone who has recently completed a Christianity Explored course.
Key features:
- 8 Bible studies through Philippians (plus 2 extra optional studies)
- Written in simple and clear English
- Can be used with the Discipleship Explored DVD
- Additional resource material available as free downloads.
This Study Guide should be used in conjunction with the Universal Edition Leader's Guide.

I chose Discipleship Explored because I wanted more than another Bible study. I wanted a resource that would help our home group grow in our love for Christ and understand what it truly means to follow Him day by day.
What stood out immediately was that the course is rooted in Paul's letter to the Philippians. Rather than giving a list of things Christians should do, it continually points us back to Jesus and the gospel, showing that genuine discipleship flows from knowing and delighting in Him.
The videos are engaging, the discussion questions are thoughtful without being complicated, and the leader's material makes it easy to guide conversations, even for those with limited teaching experience. I also appreciated that it encourages everyone to open the Bible together and discover God's truth for themselves.
As someone leading a home group, I wanted a course that would deepen faith, spark honest discussion, and help believers grow together. Discipleship Explored does exactly that. It is biblical, practical, Christ-centred, and accessible. I would happily recommend it to any church or small group looking to help Christians mature in their walk with Jesus.
Well laid out booklet - easy to use. Good size.
This resource was a great blessing for our multicultural discipleship group. The DVD worked well as a weekly review. New believers & others all found the material very stimulating.
I have used both this and the regular discipleship explored. Both are good, especially the DVD's. This we have used with overseas students and new young Christians. For overseas students the explanations of meanings of words and background is very helpful. It is also good for new Christians with no biblical knowledge. I highly recommend it.
