It can be hard knowing what videos will actually help us and the people we are discipling. There are endless videos being produced on it, and lots of voices weighing in on the topic.
As Christians, Jesus wants us to make sure we’re under sound teaching about discipleship and growing in our walk with Him so that we can help others grow too. It can be hard knowing what videos will actually help us and the people we are discipling.
That’s why I created a list of the 10 best Discipleship videos you should see:

Discipleship is more than sharing the gospel with someone. It’s coming alongside them in their journey with Jesus and helping them grow in their faith. It’s relational, it’s focused on God’s word, and it’s reproducible.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’
Matthew 19-20 CSB
Jesus told us to go make disciples of all nations, and so by watching videos that help us, we can make disciples who make disciples.

Dr. Tony Evans is the founder and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, founder, and president of The Urban Alternative. He is a powerful speaker and author.
In this video, Dr. Tony Evans walks his listeners through Matthew 28:18-20 and passionately discusses what it means for Jesus to be King in our world where we’re called to make disciples for his Kingdom.
When we know that Jesus is the one in charge and the one we’re making disciples for, that changes the whole game and could possibly change the world, which is what Dr. Tony Evans wants us to get out of his video on discipleship.
5. Billy Graham And The Cost Of Discipleship
Billy Graham was a world-renown evangelist who changed the lives of millions of people throughout the whole world. Today, his teachings are still just as transformational.
In this powerful message, Billy Graham speaks about the cost of discipleship, just how important it is, and how much it is worth.
Billy’s teaching points us to God’s word and the call we all have as Christians to be disciples and disciple others in love.
He tells us how being a follower of Jesus is a daily process, not simply a singular event, and how that should shape our view of discipleship.

In his video about discipleship, he talks about how the gospel and evangelism tie into and affect our discipleship process.
If we aren’t focused on Jesus and his gospel, then our discipling means nothing.
At the same time, following Jesus is more than solely praying a prayer.
This video is convicting and powerful, showing us as Christians that discipleship should be a part of our every day lives. We can disciple our family, friends, neighbors, and anyone we have a relationship with.
That’s the beauty of discipleship and Voddie Baucham’s message, it’s about relationship and obeying God no matter what.
7. Melissa Kruger on Discipling Teenagers – The Gospel Coalition
In her video, Melissa Kruger talks about a group of people that we don’t usually think of when it comes to discipleship: our own teenagers.
Teenagers, and children in general, need the gospel message just as much as we do, and in their ever-changing, developing lives, discipleship is paramount. That’s why Melissa shares with us what it looks like to disciple your teen and how to do that in truth, love, and grace.

In his sermon, John Piper speaks about the motivations and actions involved with discipleship and what it means to truly be a disciple.

Discipleship Videos Make A Difference
Discipleship videos make a difference because they teach us how to truly follow Jesus and help others do the same.
Discipling other believers and sharing the gospel makes an impact on eternity and by doing this in love, we are doing the most fulfilling work God could give us to do.
As you learn how to disciple others, remember that it’s just as important to be poured into as much as you are being poured into others.
You can be poured into by God’s word and can be a follower of Jesus first and foremost as you seek to grow relationships and make disciples who make disciples.
