DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING CURRICULUM
The 3Thirds Discipleship Training Curriculum is a simple, reproducible model for making disciples and multiplying disciple-making communities rooted in the commands of Christ found in Matthew 28:18–20. Built around biblical discipleship, spiritual practices, and relational accountability, this approach has helped launch more than two million groups worldwide.
Through Freedom Lake Ministries’ continuous pathway of Christian practices, these trainings are brought directly inside the correctional facility, where men are introduced to rhythms of worship, prayer, Scripture engagement, discipleship, fellowship, and obedience-based learning that help them grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and discover their God-given identity and purpose. The curriculum is designed to be lived out in community, where transformation happens through intentional relationships and consistent spiritual formation.
Men are equipped with practical discipleship tools, leadership development, and life application strategies that prepare them to serve wherever God calls them — within their families, churches, workplaces, communities, and correctional environments. The process is intentionally paced to support men who are adjusting to a new way of life, recognizing where they come from emotionally, spiritually, and relationally while walking alongside them through a minimum of 12 consecutive weeks of Christ-centered discipleship, mentoring, and spiritual growth.
