The Discipleship Dilemma
“The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as ‘Christians’ will become disciples” – Dallas Willard, The Great Omission.
You know your most critical job is to make disciples—and it can feel like an uphill battle. Tried systems pile up, and progress stalls. You’re left more frustrated, discouraged, or tired than before. The responsibility ultimately lies on you, and with limited resources and time, you're stretched too thin, and it can feel discouraging.
The answer isn’t another complex curriculum or monthly subscription, but a clear process for discipleship that you or your team can use to train leaders, multiply disciples, and transform your ministry.
It’s here.

Moving beyond ministry as usual—into ministry that multiplies.
From exhaustion to empowerment—pastors tell us how the weight was finally lifted when their leaders began learning and leading through DJJ. Their ministry shifted from managing people to multiplying disciples across campuses and communities. We love turning “I feel stuck in maintenance mode” into “I see my people growing and multiplying through genuine discipleship.”

We saw it was good, so it was used within our women’s groups. Then immediately we began using it within the men of our congregation. This brought a great awakening in the men’s movement in our church. We also began a school years ago, and we took advantage of this opportunity and began sharing DJJ once a week with our high school students. We began sharing DJJ in their second language. So, we speak Spanish, but they were embracing the journeys in English. So, our teens are encouraged to learn a new language through this tool of Discipleship Journeys with Jesus. We’ve seen how many of these teens have risen to serve the Lord, to commit to God. So, pastors, men, and women of God, embrace this project, and I speak out of experience of a local church.

Essential topics for a person beginning their walk with Christ and for the deeper level ones and those of leadership. This tool fits like a glove for a pastor looking to have an effective discipleship process and thus fulfill the Great Commission.
Pastor James Mwagi
Kenya
Thank you so much. I am a pastor and also involved in church planting, utilizing DJJ materials for my discipleship program. Looking forward to discipling my team with ease.
Kenneth Walczak-Kline & Tierney Rae Kline

Finding Discipleship Journeys with Jesus (DJJ) Bible study has been a Godsend like no other to my wife, Tierney, and me. Both of us have been searching and praying for this very thing—a fundamental Bible study where the Bible is allowed to speak for and interpret itself via the Holy Spirit's leading. Dr. Mark Williams opens each lesson with a brilliant introduction filmed on the actual location of the given portion of Bible being studied. Tierney and I have likened DJJ to a city of refuge in the midst of endless attempts at rewriting the biblical worldview. Our church family at Brighton Community Church, in Brighton, Iowa, has used DJJ for our Wednesday night study at church… we strongly recommend it as a biblical resource to any church or individual believer wanting a solid presentation of the fundamental truths of the Bible.

As a teenage group leader... I believe that with this course, they had the opportunity to know more about Jesus and, consequently, get closer to Him. We, as teachers, also learned a lot from each lesson. DJJ is undoubtedly a rich, creative, and fundamental strategy of evangelism and discipleship.
Pastor Ezekiel M. Canmue

I have seen a significant change in my life and members' lives. This mentoring system has helped our church to grow physically and spiritually. It has brought new members into the ministry.
Who We Are
We are parents, pastors, and ministry leaders who understand the spiritual struggles families, churches, and ministries face today. Together, we are Discipleship Journeys with Jesus (DJJ)—a global discipleship ministry.
What We Do
We empower families, churches, and ministries with a discipleship program—transformative journeys through Scripture—filled with actionable wisdom that equips believers at every stage of faith to become mature disciples of Christ who fulfill His Great Commission. Nondenominational. Cross‑cultural. Completely free.
Why We Do It
The Bible has never been more accessible, yet more and more believers live lives that don’t reflect Jesus and His call to make disciples. Around the world, information abounds, but transformation lags behind. As Dallas Willard observed in his book The Great Omission, “The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as ‘Christians’ will become disciples”—this is the crisis DJJ was founded to address.
How We Do It
Jesus commands us in His Great Commission to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19‑20), and Scripture calls us to maturity “to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13). Our ministry develops, translates, and freely distributes a discipleship program that turns biblical knowledge into daily obedience—strengthening families, equipping churches, and training ministry leaders worldwide to multiply disciple‑makers.
