Upcoming Webinars

The Forge Resources: Your Church's Next Discipleship Toolkit

Thursday, July 11, 2024

11:00am – Noon CST

The people in your church know they should be discipling others, but most feel like they lack the equipping and encouragement needed to disciple others well. Yet, if just one person discipled two others across a year, and those two discipled two the following year, and that continued, more than two billion people would be discipled in just twenty years.

Commit to training your church by using The Forge resources. Join us as we discuss each resource and how it can empower your people to become disciple-makers.

The Gospel Project: New Look, Same Gospel

Thursday, August 14, 2024

1:00 – 2:00pm CST

This fall, The Gospel Project begins a new three-year study cycle, so it’s the perfect time to start new groups. But even groups who have been using The Gospel Project will find new changes to be excited about, including a switch from the Daily Discipleship Guide to a Personal Study Guide, plus a new Commentary for those seeking deeper study.

Learn about what makes The Gospel Project unique and all that is new this year.
