Developing a Culture of Discipleship

March 18, 2026 By Peter Krol

While learning how to study the Bible is one crucial part of Christian discipleship, it is not the only part. So I’m happy to zoom out from my usual narrow focus on learning how to study the Bible to highlight this article about how to cultivate a culture of discipleship in the local church.

The concept of “discipling” is often shrouded in mystique, and Jeffrey Wiesner does a wonderful job making it more accessible. He covers the following topics:

  • What is discipleship?
  • What is a discipleship culture?
  • What commitments inform a discipleship culture?
  • What practices shape a discipleship culture?
  • What metrics evaluate a discipleship culture?

This longer article is well worth your time to help you and your church obey Jesus’ great commission to go and make disciples (Matt 28:18-20).
