In an age where college students are busier than ever, how can you make sure they grasp the essentials of faith? In this episode, Steve Lutz shares a strategy for “one-year discipleship,” that focuses on creating disciples who will have the knowledge and experiences needed to be faithful Christ-followers for life.

Notable Points:

• “As college students continue to be busier than ever,  we assume that we’re only going to have students around, involved, and engaged for one year. If we only have them for a year, what do we do with them?”
• Boil down one-year teaching plan to essential topics. Because they are fundamental, everyone needs to hear them every year.
• Core topics include: “What is the gospel?” “Connecting people to Christ, Community, and Calling”
• College ministers need to take the long view. Are we giving them what they need to thrive 10 years down the road?
• “Major on the Majors” and “Keep it Simple.” Good mantras for the college pastor.
