The Self-Study Course is designed to be a believer’s personal workbook and reference manual for discipleship/counseling. Therefore, each time that personal study in the Scriptures is required in discipling/ counseling another, it should — as much as possible — be done in conjunction with the various parts of this self-study course. The goal is to develop an in-depth knowledge of Scripture, discipleship/counseling principles, as well as knowing practical discipleship/counseling methods used by Jesus. Sections include:

1. Word Study
2. Character Study. You select various characters from the Bible and determine their discipleship/counseling needs. You then examine the 4 elements for each character: Biblical understanding, Hope, Change, and Practice.
3. Biblical Discipleship/Counseling principles. You analyze and identify biblical counseling principles found in Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and in a number of the prophetic books of the Old Testament.
4. Development of your own reference materials for discipleship/couseling, study on Jesus’ Discipleship/Counseling Method and Example.
