Learning to walk in the Way of Jesus.

A Ministry For Young Adults, based in OK, and serving both the local and global church.

2024 Schedule:

Here’s our 2024 schedule for the School of Discipleship!

We’re excited to dive into Jesus' teachings and grow together as a community.

We meet at Good Fight Church’s coffee shop in Yukon, from 6PM to 9PM.

October 27, 2024 - Faith & Theology Q&A Night

Somewhere deep down, we all have questions. The kind that keep you up at night. The kind that make you wonder if this whole faith thing is real, or if God is even paying attention.

This night is for those questions. No judgment, no topic off-limits. Just an open space to ask the hard stuff and wrestle through it together.

We’ll pray, we’ll listen, and yes, we’ll eat pizza. :)

November 10, 2024 - Blessed are the Merciful, and the Pure in Heart

It’s easy to think mercy is for the weak. And purity? Most of us don’t even know what that means anymore. But in Matthew 5:7-8, Jesus paints a different picture.

Mercy is about being free from the need to pay people back—letting go of the bitterness that’s eating you alive.

Purity of heart isn’t about checking all the boxes; it’s about being honest with God, and living without the masks.

In a culture that thrives on cynicism and retribution, these two traits might be the most radical acts of rebellion.

November 24, 2024 - Blessed are the Peacemakers and the Persecuted

“Peacemaker” sounds like a nice word, until you realize it’s not about keeping the peace—it’s about stepping into chaos and bringing healing.

That’s what Jesus calls us to in Matthew 5:9-11. But don’t be fooled: peacemakers get hurt. They get misunderstood. They get pushed out.

So, what does it mean to keep following Jesus when you face resistance and even persecution?

Let’s dig into what it looks like to stand your ground, even when the ground feels like it’s falling apart.

December 1, 2024 - Jesus Fulfills the Law

For most of us, the word “law” brings up ideas of rules, guilt, and punishment. But Jesus doesn’t come to tighten the leash—He comes to fulfill the Law in a way that sets us free.

In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus flips the whole thing upside down. The law isn’t a prison; it’s a path to a deeper life with God.

We’ll talk about what it means to live in that freedom, not as people trying to measure up, but as those who are learning to align their hearts with God’s heart.

——

Mark these dates on your calendar, and come ready to engage deeply with these teachings. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to live out the radical, countercultural way of Jesus in a world that so desperately needs Him.

Stay tuned for our 2025 dates—there’s more to come!

What is a School of Discipleship?

When we refer to our ministry as a "school," we draw inspiration from the historical "schools of philosophy and theology" led by early Christian figures like Justin Martyr. These were not modern academic institutions with grades and exams, but communities dedicated to immersing themselves in the life and teachings of Jesus. Disciples gathered to engage deeply with their faith—not just as admirers, but as true apprentices committed to living out His teachings.

Similarly, our school of discipleship is a place of learning and growth in the way of Jesus. Our focus is on making disciples—not just fans of Jesus, but genuine followers and apprentices of His teachings. We offer free education and resources, including deep dives into theology and open discussions about faith and life. Our environment encourages students to ask raw and real questions, fostering mentorship relationships that support each student's spiritual development.

Our aim is to strengthen young Christian believers and leaders, helping them develop spiritually, intellectually, and practically. We equip them to return to their local churches and communities, empowered to actively advance the Kingdom of God with boldness and conviction.

What’s the Vision?

The GoodLion School of Discipleship is a community of believers coming together to further the development of young adults as followers of Christ. We understand that the local church is the backbone of the Christian community, and we have a heart to come alongside these churches to help them in their mission of discipling young adults. Our goal is to not only bless the local church but also create resources that will bless the broader body of Christ.

What are our methods?

We create classes and community spaces designed to equip young adults with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual maturity they need to fulfill their unique roles in the body of Christ. Our current focus is on developing servant leadership and theological depth. We are dedicated to providing an environment where young adults can grow in their understanding of God and Scripture, and we strive to cultivate a culture of discipleship that will inspire and challenge them to become apprentices of Jesus.

Whether you're a young adult looking to deepen your faith or a church leader looking for resources to bless your congregation, the GoodLion School of Discipleship is here to serve.

What churches are you partnered with?

We believe that by coming alongside local churches and working together, we can help create a stronger, more united Christian community. Our partnership with the Good Fight Church in Yukon is just one example of how we are working to bless the local church. We are open to working with even more churches in the area.
