"Spiritual Friendships" Seminar

Just came back from a really inspiring mentoring conference led by our guest speaker Pastor Matthew lo from (CEFC) today. Our youth ministry sure is very privilege to be exposed & be equipped by someone who has really internalised the meaning of what discipleship & mentoring is about. He not only has the charisma, but also the depth from the substantial knowledge he has of the Word of God! And he delivered a message with such passion that we get a clear sense of his heart on this topic.

Below are a couple of Mentoring Frameworks that was shared:

A certain kind of PERSPECTIVE

A certain kind of POSTURE

A certain kind of POWER

A certain kind of PRAGMATISM

Below is this Eightfold Core Curriculum that he shared to us today which was develop from his senior pastor.

"Roots & Wings is a 12-week Discipleship Bible Study built around the Eightfold Core Curriculum developed by Edmund Chan. The Eightfold Core Curriculum identifies the eight fundamental aspects of discipleship, shows how they build upon one another, and helps you to both diagnose the root issues that are hindering discipleship, as well as determine what to do about them!"

Each aspect of the Eightfold Core Curriculum leads you to answer a fundamental discipleship question:
1. Biblical Theology: Who is God?
2. Biblical Allegiance: Who is my Master in life?
3. Biblical Identity: Who am I?
4. Biblical Purpose: What am I called to do?
5. Biblical Values: What is of ultimate importance in my life?
6. Biblical Priorities: What are the things I must put first?
7. Biblical Empowering: How can I be empowered?
8. Biblical Foundation: What should I anchor my life upon?
