Practical, Biblical Advice for Encouraging Fellow Believers and Helping Them Grow in Spiritual Maturity
If you are a believer in Christ, you are a disciple. Now, it’s time to disciple others. The thought of leading someone else on their faith journey may seem daunting—after all, no one can be a perfect example. But God uses the imperfect faith of faithful believers to help others become more like Jesus.
In this addition to the Church Questions series, J. Garrett Kell equips readers to intentionally invest in the lives of fellow church members and family. Through Scripture and personal examples, he emphasizes why biblical discipleship is essential and challenges the obstacles that may discourage Christians from initiating these relationships. This concise and engaging guide also explains how to find someone to disciple, healthy discipleship practices and posture, and pitfalls to avoid—empowering church members to cultivate spiritual growth in their communities.
- For Individual or Small-Group Study: An excellent resource for churches, this brief guide equips readers to intentionally invest in the spiritual lives of fellow believers
- Accessible: Written for laypeople, students, and church leaders of all levels

Endorsements
“Christians are pressed by very real questions. How does Scripture structure a church, order worship, organize ministry, and define biblical leadership? Those are just examples of the questions that are answered clearly, carefully, and winsomely in this new series from 9Marks. I am so thankful for this ministry and for its incredibly healthy and hopeful influence in so many faithful churches. I eagerly commend this series.”
R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Sincere questions deserve thoughtful answers. If you’re not sure where to start in answering these questions, let this series serve as a diving board into the pool. These minibooks are winsomely to-the-point and great to read together with one friend or one hundred friends.”
Gloria Furman, author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood
“As a pastor, I get asked lots of questions. I’m approached by unbelievers seeking to understand the gospel, new believers unsure about next steps, and maturing believers wanting help answering questions from their Christian family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers. It’s in these moments that I wish I had a book to give them that was brief, answered their questions, and pointed them in the right direction for further study. Church Questions is a series that provides just that. Each booklet tackles one question in a biblical, brief, and practical manner. The series may be called Church Questions, but it could be called ‘Church Answers.’ I intend to pick these up by the dozens and give them away regularly. You should too.”
Juan R. Sanchez, Senior Pastor, High Pointe Baptist Church, Austin, Texas; author, Seven Dangers Facing Your Church
“Where can we Christians find reliable answers to our common questions about life together at church—without having to plow through long, expensive books? The Church Questions booklets meet our need with answers that are biblical, thoughtful, and practical. For pastors, this series will prove a trustworthy resource for guiding church members toward deeper wisdom and stronger unity.”
Ray Ortlund, Pastor to Pastors, Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee
