Discipleship groups are groups of male and female students who meet once a week to go through either a book of the Bible or a selected Christian living book. These groups can all look very different. Sometimes these groups are a group of friends, sometimes all from one residence hall, but most often these groups are composed of people from all different majors, halls, and academic year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I personally have experienced all of these different dynamics. My freshman year I studied the book \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marks of the Messenger,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d and all of the guys in my D-Group were from my unit of Lawlor;\u00a0 we were led by an upperclassmen from the unit. My sophomore year I served as a Discipleship Leader and led a group of guys from all over campus, most of whom had never met before, through the book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hole in Our Holiness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. My junior year I led another group of guys from around campus through the book of Phillipians. Thankfully, some of the guys from my group the previous year came back again. It was really encouraging to lead guys multiple years and watch them grow in their love for the Lord and their love for one another. As a senior I serve on Discipleship Council, which means I serve and equip the Discipleship Leaders and help encourage them to lead their groups well. The reason I share these details is to show that groups can look pretty differently from year to year, and the topics you study can vary greatly as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1092\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2.jpg?resize=700%2C525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C188&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C90&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DC2-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how did these groups help me grow?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before I came to Cedarville, I had never experienced genuine discipleship, where the people around me knew everything about me and were holding me accountable in all areas of my life. I had never been exhorted from God\u2019s Word consistently week after week by someone my age who was walking alongside me and doing life with me. Not only did I meet with the guys in my group during our meeting times, but often individually one on one we would share our lives, hearts, and what the Lord was teaching us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discipleship Ministries taught me that God doesn\u2019t just care about our lives on Sunday, but He wants to be involved with every area of our lives. My Discipleship Leaders have become my closest friends and the greatest influence over my spiritual walk during my time at Cedarville. They helped take all of the great experiences of chapel and Bible classes and make it personal and taught me how to apply those lessons in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1093\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?resize=700%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?resize=700%2C466&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?resize=250%2C166&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?resize=120%2C80&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DL-Retreat-2020.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discipleship groups are not just another Bible study small group.
