The following is the first phase in a series of missional Bible studies to engage your teammates in key discipleship issues that athletes encounter. A Missional Discipleship Cycle (below) refers to a sequence on how to engage scripture through hearing the word, respond actively to what you have heard, and debrief & interpret how you (and others) responded in mission. In this series, we look at five critical encounters throughout scripture that people had with Jesus, how they responded, and the invitation God is challenging us with personally and with our teammates.
