Year 1 - Personal Discipleship

Start Your Journey

What will your life look like one year from now? SPIRIT exists to lead you deeper into the heart of God so you can live like Jesus! We offer interactive classes and daily video teachings to help you master the Scriptures. You will then be challenged to practice what you learn in weekly activations. You’ll go beyond theory and begin walking in mercy, prophecy, stewardship, forgiveness, healing, intercession, and evangelism!

You won’t be alone in your journey. We will connect you with experienced mentors and pastors who can advise and encourage you. Our team is excited to help you establish lifelong patterns of intimacy with God and ministry in the world!

At SPIRIT, we don’t believe discipleship should be limited to specific times, places or ages. Whatever your work schedule, your college courses or your family demands, we provide a flexible pathway for growth. The secret place of God awaits you. Leave spiritual complacency and dryness behind for good—join our family and pursue Jesus daily!

Student Experience

Student Testimonials

“This discipleship course allowed us to dive deeper into our walk and relationship with God and with each other. Each component of the school provided us with new insight into the Word of God and TRUE relationship.”

- Levi and Athena Low

“This year of discipleship brought me back to my roots, back to Jesus, the center of my world. I love the insight David brings to the daily devotional, as well as the class interactions on Zoom. I’ll be forever grateful for what this course has done for me.”

- Richard Battle

“I joined this course for a deeper knowledge of the Bible, and to add to my daily studies and devotional.  Pastor David Lien is a phenomenal teacher! In 10-12 minute videos, the depth he teaches in every book, chapter and verse of the Bible was amazing, especially the way it in every Scripture reveals Jesus.  I highly recommend taking the extra time in your day—and for the year—devoting yourself as a disciple of Jesus.”
