As legendary discipler Roger Hershey says, a mature disciple is one who walks by faith, communicates their faith, and multiplies their faith. The Compass is a tool designed to help staff and student disciplers guide other students through the process of becoming mature disciples.
In addition to over 45 lesson files, The Compass contains a number of other resources including a series of four talks by Roger Hershey on the right reasons, people, components, and content for discipleship.
The Compass is organized under three main headings: Walk, Communicate, and Multiply, which corresponds with our understanding that a mature disciple is one who walks, communicates and multiplies their faith. You can find over 40 lessons to prepare you to lead great discipleship appointments with students.
