Below are five common questions we receive and the answers and resources we provide to help you implement a vibrant discipleship culture in your church.
Our passion to help believers grow to spiritual maturity, spiritual fruitfulness, and spiritual reproduction in Christ is knit together with our desire to be true to Scripture.
We believe there are some foundational principles that all believers, especially newer believers, need to understand and internalize. Often Biblical “knowledge” is presented to new Christians rather than personalized instruction of Biblical “principles” to apply in their lives to help them mature more rapidly.

Written by Frank MeitzHow Discipleship is Presented in a Typical Modern Church Congregation
Many believers don't know where they are spiritually. This diagnostic tool is intended to help mentors and mentees evaluate where they are in relation to four "spiritual catagories."
"God is still at work in my life and in the lives of my church family. At our recent Discipleship Sunday, many came forward requesting one-on-one mentoring in response to powerful testimonies about being mentored using DTI.
Lisa H. talked about the darkness she was in before she was saved, and how I offered to disciple her."
DTI is please to announce that we are an approved partner with YouVersion and their Bible APP. We have our first devotional, "Spiritual Transformation, Not Behavior Manipulation, Are you 'white knuckling' your Christian walk?"
This 6-day devotional is designed to help all believers see life more from God's perspective.
Click here to go to the devotional.
We pray you will blessed by it as we continue to seek ways to help all believers to "see life, more and more, from His perspective".

Just Launched - Intentional Discipleship Communities
Written by Frank MeitzSpiritual Mentors, Frank & Jeannette Meitz are leading a group of believers getting together regularly to seek the Lord for His presence, unity, and a fresh anointing in His individual and collective calling and mission.
Using all three Phases in the DTI manual with thoughtful engaging conversations we seek the Lord and His promise of Living in The Abundant Christian Life.
We are video recording each session so pastors and leaders can use it to lead their own groups. We make all the handouts available for you!
You can access the material in several formats:
- From the DTI App. If you don’t have the DTI App, click here for instructions. You’ll find the Intentional Discipleship Community (IDC) section on the App Home Screen.
- From the Mentor Training section of the DTI web site. Choose the IDC section and follow the links.
- Facebook Live. We plan on streaming the gatherings live. We will announce when this launches.
Our desire is that God will make each of you into an effective “spiritual mentor / parent” and that your life will be multiplied many times over.
…entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Tim. 2:2)
…unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (John 12:24)

Mentee Assessment - Two Diagnostic Tools for the Spiritual Mentor
Written by Frank MeitzDTI has developed two diagnostic tools to help you as the spiritual mentor to discern the spiritual maturity level of the mentee and possible gaps in their understanding, so that you may be better prepared as you go through Phase 1 with them.
It will also help you to develop thought-provoking questions, based on where the mentee is in their “spiritual walk”.
It will help you avoid the pitfall of assuming the mentee is more spiritually mature based on observations of external behavior – especially if you are mentoring a believer who has been in the church a long time.
