How do I start a one-on-one discipleship relationship with a new believer?
A friend recently gave their life to Jesus Christ and asked me to help them grow. As someone who has never officially discipled someone one-on-one before, what should our first 4 to 6 weeks look like?

Praise God for this wonderful opportunity! Here is a proven 4-week foundation to start with:
- Week 1: Assurance of Salvation: Ground them in 1 John 5:11-13 and Ephesians 2:8-9 so their security is in Christ alone.
- Week 2: Talking with God (Prayer): Teach the simple ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication).
- Week 3: Hearing from God (Scripture): Start reading through the Gospel of Mark together, 1 chapter a day.
- Week 4: Fellowship & Sharing Your Story: Encourage them to share what Jesus has done with family or close friends.

What should I do if the new believer frequently reschedules or misses our sessions?
My disciple seems eager when we meet, but often forgets or gets overwhelmed by work. How can I encourage consistency with grace without making them feel guilty?
