Discipleship Road Map
“It was not you who chose me, but I
who chose you and appointed you to
go and bear fruit that will remain, so
that whatever you ask the Father in
my name he may give you.”
(John 15:16)
Discipleship Road Map
CCC 3 “Those who with God’s help have
welcomed Christ’s call and freely
responded to it are urged on by love of
Christ to proclaim the Good News
everywhere in the world.”
Discipleship Road Map
Mark 4: 14-20
“The sower sows the word. These are the ones
on the path where the word is sown. As soon
as they hear, Satan comes at once and takes
away the word sown in them. And these are
the ones sown on rocky ground who, when
they hear the word, receive it at once with joy.
But they have no root; they last only for a time.
Then when tribulation or persecution comes
because of the word, they quickly
fall away...
Mark 4: 14-20
“Those sown among thorns are another sort.
They are the people who hear the word, but
worldly anxiety, the lure of riches, and the
craving for other things intrude and choke
the word, and it bears no fruit. But those
sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the
word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and
sixty and a hundredfold.”
Mark 4: 14-20
1. What word or phrase caught your attention?
2. What type of soil represents you?
3. What is Jesus saying to you in this passage?
CCC 1816 “The disciple of Christ must not only
keep the faith and live on it, but also profess it,
confidently bear witness to it, and spread it: 82Service
of and witness to the faith are necessary for salvation:
“So every one who acknowledges me before men, I
also will acknowledge before my Father who is in
heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will
deny before my Father who is in heaven.”83

Five Principles of the DRM
What the Discipleship Road Map is…
…and what it is NOT
(Page 42)
(Taken from FOCUSequip > Leader Resources)
1. God’s Grace
The Road Map is simply a tool to help
someone in his walk with Jesus; it is not
meant to define someone’s entire
relationship with God. God’s grace is the
primary reason for growing.
2. Sharing the Vision
a. The Road Map allows someone to
understand the importance of Jesus’
mission. Jesus commanded us to “Go, and
make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew
28:19)
2. Sharing the Vision
b. Therefore, the best time to share the
roadmap is when someone has made a
commitment or re-commitment to Jesus.
3. Self- Selection
Don’t make assumptions. Allow this to be
a prayerful time. After all, it’s not about me!
Let them read over the Road Map and
determine for themselves where they are
and where they want to be.
4. Accountability
Once someone identifies where they want
to be, you can shape your actions in this
direction. Now discipleship is centered
around getting them to the next level in
their walk with Jesus Christ and the Great
Commission.
5. Incremental Growth
The Discipleship Road Map is about taking
incremental steps in our discipleship with
Jesus.
NOTE
This approach to discipleship is one
way of many to bear fruit… not
the ONLY way.
