Disciple Fast Track II
Into the Word, Into the World
Newly revised, expanded, and updated
Disciple II Fast Track: Into the Word, Into the World adapted for the BeADisciple Study App is a 24-week study that covers the Bible’s four foundational books: Genesis and Exodus in the Old Testament, and Luke and Acts in the New Testament. Though it requires less reading than Disciple Fast Track I (which covers 60 percent of the Bible), this study also goes much deeper into the sacred texts. For the first 12 weeks, you will experience the lives of patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph (in Genesis) and the heroic account of Moses (in Exodus). Over the following 12 weeks, you’ll cover Jesus’ teachings and ministry (in Luke) and the struggles and accomplishments of the early disciples (in Acts).
In every session, you will go both “Into the Word,” by studying Scripture, and “Into the World,” by acting on what you have learned. Requirements include:
- About 30 minutes of daily reading (in both text and audio formats) five days a week.
- Watching a weekly video commentary from a prominent biblical scholar.
- Participating in group discussion threads.
- Attending (virtually or in person) a weekly 90-minute meeting with your group of six to 16.
- Attending (virtually or in person) one orientation with your group before the study begins.
Each week, you’ll also learn and engage in a variety of spiritual practices to help you grow in faith.
This version of Disciple Fast Track II has been adapted from the internationally renowned DISCIPLE Bible Study series, and it is all contained on the state-of-the-art BeADisciple App. All the curriculum has been revised, expanded and updated from the original, and it’s accessible on your smart phone, tablet, or computer.
