Welcome to your Equipped journey

Master the fundamentals.

What do dribbling a basketball, streamlining your body in swimming and protecting a football have in common? They are fundamentals: the basic practices of any sport that, if mastered, pave the path to elite performance. Coaches like Vince Lombardi and John Wooden were known for getting the fundamentals right.

Athletes in Action has identified four fundamentals that can take your impact for Christ to the next level:

  • Articulating your Christian faith and sharing the gospel
  • Walking in the power of the Holy Spirit
  • Conveying your personal story of how your life has changed
  • Passing on what you know to equip others through discipleship

The Equipped curriculum combines our best resources with action challenges to help you master the basics of following Christ. You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit.

Five journeys

Take them in any order.

Each journey has four or five parts: a teaching video, supporting resources, reflection questions and a challenge to take action.

The Equipped Disciples Curriculum is broken into five journeys on this platform, each with four or five parts. The journeys can be completed in any order.  
Each journey includes:
  • a primary teaching video
  • some of the supplemental resources to add value to your learning experience
  • some reflection questions
  • and a challenge to take action
You’ll get the most out of the experience if you complete all four parts of each journey, but it you’re strapped for time, complete at least the primary video, capture your insights in the reflection section, and then move toward “Live It,” the challenge to take action.
Guide yourself through the curriculum, or grab a buddy, a group of teammates or coaches, or your small group from church to do it together. We have found that relationship catalyzes growth, so it you can work through the programs with one or more other folks, you’ll be guaranteed to learn more and be better equipped as a disciple. 

These resources will walk you through sharing the gospel clearly and warmly.
