Talmid and Talmida

San Francisco Lighthouse Talmidim and Talmida Groups

The following content has been provided for the Talmidim "Disciple" discussion groups. Below you will find assessment tools, discussion guides, notes, and so forth. Also, feel free to leave comments here as to continue the discussion.

Introduction and Invitation

Before Jesus called his disciples to follow him he invited them to "come and see" where he lived.  The introduction and invitation is a pressure free zone where you can check out what the talmidim is all about before making a commitment. 

Talmidim involves the following:  (1) committing to a year long journey through (a) relationships, (b) studying the Scripture in a discussion format, (c) developing a structure of accountability.  I have done my best to create a culture and structure that fosters discipleship.  Please check out the following:
