1. I AM ALREADY VERY BUSY. WHEN AM I GOING TO HAVE TIME TO BE INVOLVED IN DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING In many ways, you already are involved in Discipleship Training. You can see from the manual that much of the training process includes things you currently do at Uptown Church. The purpose of the program is to bring more structure and intentionality into the training process, not necessarily more time. In fact, if a person follows the training process outlined here he will probably save time in the long run because he will (a) have a more accurate assessment of his own spiritual strengths and weaknesses, and (b) have guidance, encouragement, and accountability from a mentor, and (c) be able to train in a more focused and efficient manner rather than training in a random and haphazard way.
