New believers are often confused, excited, scared, and overwhelmed, sometimes all at once. They don\u2019t need a lecture. What they need is someone to sit across from them and say, \u201c<strong>Tell me about your life since you said yes to Jesus.<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:10;1277-1286\">Ask them:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-26:50;1287-1421\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:49;1287-1335\"><strong>What has changed since you became a Christian?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:36;1336-1371\"><strong>What are you most confused about?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:50;1372-1421\"><strong>What does your prayer life look like right now?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:244;1423-1666\">That conversation alone gives you a roadmap. You\u2019ll know what they believe, what they struggle with, and what gaps need to be filled. As a pastor\u2019s wife, you\u2019re positioned to have this conversation with real authority and compassion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:244;1423-1666\">Use that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:159;1668-1826\"><strong>Why this works:<\/strong> You meet them where they are. <strong>Discipleship that starts with listening always lands deeper<\/strong> than discipleship that starts with a curriculum.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:58;1833-1890\"><span id=\"2_Teach_Them_the_Four_Basics_of_Discipleship_Early_On\">2. Teach Them the Four Basics of Discipleship Early On<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"36:1-36:71;1892-1962\">One question I hear often is: <strong><em>what are the 4 basics of discipleship?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"38:1-38:44;1964-2007\">Here\u2019s how I break it down in simple terms:<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"40:1-40:229;2009-2237\"><strong>1. The Word<\/strong> \u2014 They must learn to read and study Scripture on their own. Start with one chapter a day. <strong>Help them understand what they\u2019re reading<\/strong>. Show them how to ask: What does this say? What does it mean? How do I apply it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"42:1-42:205;2239-2443\"><strong>2. Prayer<\/strong> \u2014 Prayer is how they talk to God. Teach them it doesn\u2019t need to be fancy. <strong>Show them how to pray honestly<\/strong>. Pray <em>with<\/em> them out loud so they can hear what real conversation with God sounds like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"44:1-44:203;2445-2647\"><strong>3. Fellowship<\/strong> \u2014 They need Christian community. Isolation is dangerous for new believers. <strong>Help them plug into a small group<\/strong>, a Bible study, or a women\u2019s ministry where they can grow alongside others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"46:1-46:187;2649-2835\"><strong>4. Obedience<\/strong> \u2014 Real discipleship produces changed behavior. <strong>Help them understand that following Jesus means following His commands<\/strong>,\u00a0not to earn salvation, but because they love Him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"48:1-48:181;2837-3017\">When you know how to disciple a new Christian, you make sure these four pillars get covered early. You don\u2019t have to tackle them all at once. But don\u2019t skip any of them either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"50:1-50:115;3019-3133\"><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Write these four out on an index card and give it to the woman you\u2019re discipling.

That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"69:1-69:262;3817-4078\">You don\u2019t need a seminary degree to disciple a new Christian well. <strong>You need to show up and be present<\/strong>. As a ministry wife, you understand what it means to serve behind the scenes. This is that kind of quiet, faithful work, and it produces fruit that lasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"71:1-71:135;4080-4214\"><strong>One-on-one time also creates safety<\/strong>.
