Discipleship Training in Bessemer, Alabama

  • What is the best way to study the New Testament?

    The best way to study the New Testament is with a consistent Bible reading plan that includes personal application and discussion. The D-Life New Testament Journals guide readers through daily Scripture reading, weekly Scripture memory, and group discussion questions to help believers grow in their faith.

  • What is included in the D-Life New Testament Journals?

    Each D-Life New Testament Journal includes one chapter of Bible reading each day, five days a week, weekly Scripture memory verses, discussion questions for D-Groups, prayer request pages, and space to record personal application using the SPACE Bible Study Method.


  • What is the difference between New Testament 1 and New Testament 2?

    Both journals guide readers through the entire New Testament in one year using the same daily reading plan. However, each contains 52 unique weekly studies, allowing you to read through the New Testament multiple times while exploring different lessons, themes, and discussion topics.


  • Are the D-Life New Testament Journals good for small groups?

    Yes. The journals are designed for D-Groups, small groups, Sunday School classes, home groups, men's ministries, women's ministries, and churches. Weekly discussion questions encourage meaningful conversations centered on God's Word.


  • Can I use the journals for personal Bible study?

    Absolutely. The D-Life Journals are excellent for personal devotions. They provide a simple daily reading plan, Scripture memory, prayer pages, and space for personal reflection and application.


  • How long does it take to complete a New Testament Journal?

    Each journal is designed to be completed over one year by reading one chapter a day, five days a week. This pace makes daily Bible study manageable while helping believers build lifelong habits of spending time in God's Word.


  • What is the SPACE Bible Study Method?

    The SPACE Bible Study Method helps believers apply Scripture by asking five questions during each daily reading:

    • S – Is there a Sin to confess?
    • P – Is there a Promise to claim?
    • A – Is there an Attitude to change?
    • C – Is there a Command to obey?
    • E – Is there an Example to follow?

    This method helps readers move beyond simply reading the Bible to living out its truth.


  • Are the D-Life Journals good for churches?

    Yes. Many churches use the D-Life Journals to build a culture of disciple-making. Because everyone follows the same weekly reading plan, pastors, ministry leaders, and small groups can easily discuss and apply the same passages together.

  • Do the journals include Bible study questions?

    Yes. Every week includes discussion questions designed to help individuals and groups understand Scripture, apply biblical truth, encourage one another, and grow together in Christ.


  • How do the D-Life New Testament Journals help believers grow spiritually?

    The journals combine daily Bible reading, Scripture memory, prayer, personal application, and group discussion into a simple, reproducible process. These habits help believers deepen their relationship with Christ while preparing them to make disciples who make disciples.

What Is a Disciple-Making Boot Camp?

The D-Life Disciple-Making Boot Camp is four hours of practical, biblical training designed to help ordinary believers become intentional disciple-makers.


This isn't just another seminar about discipleship.


It's interactive, practical, and centered on Jesus' model of making disciples.


During the Boot Camp, you'll learn how to:

  • Make disciples who make disciples
  • Build meaningful disciple-making relationships
  • Lead effective D-Groups
  • Develop consistent Bible reading habits
  • Encourage spiritual growth through accountability
  • Create a disciple-making culture in your church
  • Share your faith with confidence
  • Equip future leaders to multiply disciples


You'll leave with practical strategies you can immediately apply in your home, church, workplace, and community.

Learn from Experienced Disciple-Makers

Dr. Bill Wilks and Rondie Wilks have trained churches, pastors, ministry leaders, and believers across the United States and around the world.


Their passion is helping churches move beyond simply attending services to developing believers who actively make disciples.



Their training combines biblical teaching with practical application, real-life examples, interactive learning, and encouragement for every stage of the disciple-making journey.

Who Should Attend?

This Boot Camp is ideal for:

  • Pastors
  • Church staff
  • Small group leaders
  • Sunday School teachers
  • Men's ministry leaders
  • Women's ministry leaders
  • Ministry volunteers
  • Parents
  • College students
  • Anyone who wants to grow as a disciple-maker


No matter where you are in your faith journey, you'll leave encouraged and equipped to help others follow Christ.

Why Disciple-Making Matters

Jesus' final command wasn't simply to gather crowds.


He told His followers:

   "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."


Healthy churches aren't built only through programs—they're built by believers who intentionally invest in others.


Disciple-making is about helping people grow in God's Word, pray together, serve together, share the gospel, and ultimately become disciple-makers themselves.



That's exactly what the D-Life process is designed to accomplish.

Experience Practical Training

Throughout the Boot Camp, you'll experience practical learning through:

  • Biblical teaching
  • Interactive discussion
  • Real-life ministry examples
  • Group participation
  • Proven disciple-making strategies



Rather than simply learning new ideas, you'll leave with a clear plan for putting them into practice.

Start a Disciple-Making Movement

Whether you're leading a church, serving in a ministry, or simply seeking to grow personally, God can use one faithful disciple to impact countless lives.


Imagine what could happen if every believer intentionally invested in just a few others.


That's the vision behind D-Life.


DISCIPLE-MAKING. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.
