How to Disciple Others: Building Faith and Depth with a 3D Perspective
Discipleship is at the heart of growth, whether in faith, leadership, or personal development. To disciple others is to guide them patiently, teach by example, and encourage them to live with purpose. It’s not simply about sharing information, but about shaping character and walking alongside someone as they grow in strength and wisdom.
In our modern age, tools and metaphors can help us better understand this process. Just as technology uses advanced methods like 3D Pa (a term from the 3D printing and materials industry), discipleship too involves multiple dimensions of shaping, forming, and creating lasting structures in a person’s life.
1. The Foundation: Relationship Before Instruction
Just as every 3D design begins with a base layer, discipleship begins with authentic relationships. Trust, compassion, and consistency are the foundation. Without a strong connection, guidance can feel hollow. The disciple must know they are valued before they are corrected.
