Just Say Yes: The Power of One-to-One Discipleship

n this conversation, Brad sits down with Deb to talk about the power and importance of one-to-one discipleship at CrossPoint. Deb shares her personal story of coming to faith in 1978 and explains how God eventually led her into discipling other women through CrossPoint’s eight-week one-to-one discipleship process. Having already walked alongside multiple women, she discusses why discipleship matters so deeply—not as a program, but as a relationship built on transparency, accountability, prayer, and walking through life together.Throughout the conversation, Deb addresses one of the biggest barriers many believers face:fear of not knowing enoughfear of rejectionfear of stepping outShe encourages listeners that God doesn’t require perfection—only obedience and willingness to say yes.
