“Discipleship Journal is truly a journal that creatively and practically disciples all who read it. I am continually challenged to think more deeply about my responsibility as a disciple and my contribution to the body of Christ. My shelves are filled with past issues to be used as a resource and to be re-read for the boldness and encouragement that can only be found in the only magazine I know that majors on equipping the saints.”

"Discipleship Journal is a read that takes you to the deeper places of the heart and gives you a chance to stretch your soul. In a day when we think we can get away with minimal love for the Lord and take all the benefits without any cost, this journal keeps our feet to the fire. I for one appreciate the challenge."    

--Jill Briscoe

“Discipleship is more than beginning with Christ—it is going on with Christ. Maturing. Being completed in Him. For as long as I live I must keep a passion for discipleship, and to strengthen that passion I keep reading Discipleship Journal. A great magazine!"

--Dr. Calvin Miller

Author of The Singer trilogy

"I'm sold on Discipleship Journal. It's one of the essential journals for anyone who is concerned with effective evangelism and discipleship. It's indispensable for anyone who takes the biblical mandate of 2 Timothy 2:2 seriously. Having taught group dynamics for many years, I am particularly pleased with the whole emphasis on small groups through the DJ Plus feature. This alone makes Discipleship Journal particularly relevant to the community needs of believers today."
