How do I disciple someone?

Quick answer

Discipling someone is walking with them in following Jesus — sharing life, Scripture, and prayer in a relationship over time. It is not just teaching content; it is forming a Christian.

Jesus discipled twelve men over three years by living with them, teaching them, sending them out, and modeling everything.

Practical shape: meet regularly (weekly?), open the Bible together, pray for each other, share life’s real stuff, be patient over months and years.

You don’t need to be an expert — just a step or two ahead and willing to invest. God uses ordinary believers in life-on-life.
