1. Educate: DLR exists to educate the disciple with online videos, books, curriculum, and bible study methods in order to effectively gain a solid theology of who God is and who you are. There will be book recommendations and book reviews from current and past theological authors. We will have monthly book give-aways each month and they will be specific in the area of spiritual development and making disciples. Studying the bible and reading other Christian books will help us know God more thus knowing ourselves more. We implore all people to seek God through His word and study it diligently. Having a proper theology is the starting point and thus we must be responsible to know how to study God’s Word so we can have a proper interpretation, and application. DLR educates the disciple by providing bible study method tools, bible verse flash cards, sermons and articles pertaining to spiritual growth and disciplines, and a whole lot more to help the disciple grow and mature.

2. Equip: DLR exists to Equip the disciple for ministry. We know that each disciple was saved not only to enter heaven but was saved to be used to bring others towards God. Each disciple has a place in the local church, and we want each person to get to the point where they are being effective in exercising their spiritual gifts and faith to grow. It’s a twofold idea in which we grow personally with God and with others. We cannot give away something that we ourselves don’t have. We want all of Gods people being utilized for the work of the Kingdom. So, we offer online assessments to find out your spiritual gifts and talents. We also give you tools to grow as a disciple and to disciple others. Our main goal is to equip you for spiritual flourishing and to eqip you for ministry. Whatever context that is we want all people to come to the unity of the faith and to be a living sacrifice to God and his church. We also want to equip you through our events and local church partnerships. From time to time we will be actively involved in outreach activities and spiritual retreats and community service. All these will help equip you with spiritual flourishing and making disciples in your community. We want to equip you with the proper perspective for ministry and tolls to help you stay focused on thriving as a believer at home, community, and church.

3. Encourage: DLR lastly exists to encourage and edify the disciple towards spiritual maturity. This is done through online discipleship or finding someone in your local area to walk with you on your journey towards God. Accountability is a big part of spiritual formation without accountability we naturally do whatever we please. This is not what Jesus wanted for his church but rather to present the church pure without blemish. DLR also encourages through vlog posts, blogs, devotionals, online media (music, movies, and sermons). Doing life alone or in isolation is a recipe for backsliding and spiritual stagnation. We all need someone to walk alongside us helping us become more life Christ.
