Roots is a mentor-based discipleship program designed to help a person grow in every dimension of your Christian life. Four highly balanced areas of discipleship were selected for a person's growth: the Bible, inner life, character, and ministry. Each area represents a critical aspect for growth in Christ. The Bible is the anchor into the timeless truths of God's Word. Inner life is the deepening of a personal relationship with the Lord. The focus of character is developing a healthy human vessel which God can richly bless. Ministry is discovering and using a person's gift to bring Christ to others.
The Bible:
- The Panoramic Study of the New Testament - An interactive tour of the New Testament receiving a broad-brush understanding of each book. After completing each study, there is a quiz to help retain memory of the subject and content of each book.
- Foundations - This section was chosen to ground a person in the core truths of God's Word and help learn to defend the faith with a basics in apologetics.
Inner Life:
- Morning Workouts - These morning devotions (some mentor-led) are designed to give hands on practice of how to enter into the Lord's presence and how to grow closer in a relationship with Him.
