The SKILLS of Jesus
You were made for more than going through the motions. Jesus grew in wisdom through practice (Luke 2:52), and He calls you to follow His lead and practice His ways.
The SKILLS of Jesus is an 11-session training that moves you from intention to action. You will receive your identity in Christ, write your faith story and a vision for your life, and stack the six SKILLS Jesus practiced into one daily rhythm: Speak your Purpose, Know the Word, Invest in the One, Lift your Heart, Live in Community, and Share the Message.
Every session gives you a short teaching, a Scripture to engage, a practical exercise to train, and a huddle guide to sharpen with others. Take it on your own, with a few friends, or with a leader from your church. You finish with a 40-day plan, a name on your heart, and the tools to help someone else follow Jesus with you. You finish sent.
Six practices. One transformed life.
Six practices Jesus lived.
Stack them one at a time into a single daily rhythm.
Speak your Purpose
Receive what God says is true about you, refuse the lies of the enemy, and declare your identity in Christ every morning.
Know the Word
Meet Jesus in Scripture through a simple four-question rhythm: see Him, see yourself, hear Him, respond.
Invest in the One
Lift your eyes to the people already around you and move from noticing someone to caring for them.
Lift your Heart
Set down what you are carrying so you can receive what God wants to give. Look, Invite, Feel, Take Action.
Live in Community
Build the five spaces Jesus lived in, from your time alone with God to the crowd you meet every day.
Share the Message
Tell your story in 30 seconds and move a conversation from connection to the gospel to a response.

Practice on your own. Or bring it with you.
On your own
Self-paced from start to finish. Move at the speed your season allows.
With a few friends
Gather 2 to 5 people, work through each session on your own during the week, and use the huddle guide when you meet.
With your church
A leader facilitates, and the huddle guide does the teaching for them. No curriculum budget or trained staff required.
A discipleship training your people can actually run.
The SKILLS of Jesus is an 11-session discipleship training that moves your people from attending to training. Each session gives them a short teaching video, a Scripture to engage, a practical exercise to complete during the week, and a huddle guide for when the group gathers. The real work happens between meetings, not just in the room.
You don't need a teacher, a curriculum budget, or a trained staff member to launch it. A layperson can facilitate with the huddle guide in hand. Run it with a small group, a leadership team, a men's or women's ministry, or a single huddle of three.
The finish line is multiplication. Session 11 walks each person through praying for names, inviting them along, and leading their own huddle. One group becomes several without adding anything to your calendar.
