Christ Rhythms

Jesus gave a clear command in Matthew 28 to make disciples of all nations, and few would argue the importance of God's call for Christians to follow Jesus and to make disciples. But how does one start the discipleship process? Unfortunately, many churches in America don’t define discipleship clearly, and many Christians don’t even know where to start!

But what if you had a jumpstart to learning and putting into practice the rhythms of a relationship with Jesus?

What if you could take an eight week discipleship journey to empower you to grow and thrive as a follower of Jesus?

 

Too often, churches look to package discipleship as a class or curriculum, often failing to equip Christians for personal discipleship. In Christ Rhythms, Jonathan Brooks provides the church a tool for empowering followers of Jesus to take ownership of making disciples. This book is for anyone looking to grow as a new follower of Jesus, and it’s also for anyone who realizes that there might be gaps in their faith of both knowledge and obedience.

Christ Rhythms is designed to be a one-on-one discipleship “primer” to help mobilize seasoned believers to be disciple-makers; and it also provides a fantastic jump start for new believers in their journey with Christ.

  • “I believe there are plenty of Christians who want more in their relationship with Jesus but just don’t know where to start. Christ Rhythms is a really refreshing mixture of Bible, theology, instruction, and application that is sure to help any Christian experience more confidence and joy in following Jesus. I have witnessed the fruit of Christ Rhythms. God has and will continue to use its content to cultivate well-rounded, joy-filled, fully devoted disciples of Jesus.”

  • “I am always on the hunt for accessible discipleship resources that anyone can understand and learn from, and that also spark good conversations in my discipleship relationships. In Christ Rhythms, Jonathan provides just that, making it a book I will be using in my ministry and passing along to other disciple-makers.”

  • “Christ Rhythms practically and intellectually presents the intimate nature of a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ. For the new believer it provides a concise theological discipleship tool to begin their journey with Jesus. However, this book is not limited to a new believer, but refreshes the foundations of faith for every believer. Christ Rhythms was formed with the heart of discipleship and is a tool to build healthy believers from small groups to one on one.”
