Faithful Men: Disciple Making for the Busy Pastor
In Faithful Men, I offer a practical guide for pastors and church leaders committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. Drawing from personal experience and biblical principles, I emphasize the importance of intentional disciple-making within the local church. This book provides actionable strategies to cultivate a culture of discipleship, encouraging leaders to invest in the spiritual growth of others and to foster communities that reflect Christ’s teachings.
Begin to Disciple: A Practical Guide to Starting the Journey of Disciple-Making
Begin to Disciple: A Practical Guide to Starting the Journey of Disciple-Making is a hands-on, gospel-centered resource for anyone ready to take the next step in spiritual multiplication. Written for everyday believers—not just pastors or professionals—this guide helps you move from wanting to disciple someone to actually doing it.
Toby DeHay offers a clear, relational, and biblical path for making disciples, starting with friendship and grounded in the Great Commission. With simple frameworks like SHARE | CONNECT | SERVE | MULTIPLY, this book equips you to build healthy rhythms, create safe spaces for spiritual growth, and model a life worth imitating.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Who to disciple and how to get started
- How to disciple both new and undiscipled believers
- Practical steps for leading with friendship, setting boundaries, and developing sustainable rhythms
- A step-by-step guide, sample weekly templates, and helpful FAQs
- Vision and encouragement for spiritual generations (2 Timothy 2:2)
Whether you’re a first-time discipler or looking to strengthen your disciple-making efforts, Begin to Disciple will give you the tools, confidence, and clarity to live out Jesus’ call—one relationship at a time.
Disciple’s Journal: A Companion Guide for Disciple Making, Using the SOAP Bible Study Method
This journal is designed to guide you on a transformative spiritual journey. By incorporating the SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer), you’ll learn to study the Bible effectively and apply its truths to your daily life.
As you delve into the Word, you’ll develop habits of daily devotion and weekly discipleship meetings. You’ll explore evangelistic verses, read through the book of 1 John, and eventually choose your own books to study.
The journal also provides space for sermon notes, encouraging you to actively listen and reflect on the messages you hear. By practicing these disciplines, you’ll grow in your faith, deepen your relationship with God, and become a more effective disciple.
I developed this journal to encourage new or maturing believers to spend daily time with the Lord in His Word. It’s best used within a discipling relationship and provides the basics for Bible journaling, Sermon note-taking, and beginning steps for evangelism.

Colossians: An Introduction to Inductive Bible Study
“Colossians: An Introduction to Inductive Bible Study” is designed to guide you through an in-depth exploration of Colossians using the Inductive Bible Study Method. This method encourages a personal and active approach to understanding Scripture by examining verse-by-verse text rather than relying solely on external interpretations. The aim is to gain knowledge and foster a deeper connection with God’s Word and its practical application in your daily life. The study is structured around a weekly format, incorporating reading, reflection, and discussion, focusing on personal spiritual growth and disciple-making. Visual aids, such as videos, are included to enhance your understanding. The study also emphasizes the importance of prayer for guidance throughout this process. Through observation, interpretation, and application, you will learn how to draw your insights and discover how the Colossians book relates to your spiritual journey.
I spent 2024 reading, studying, and rereading Colossians. It was such a blessing to me! I saw such rich themes for Christian growth and principles for disciple-making that I took time over the winter to develop this teaching tool.
This book fits anytime after CONNECT in the SHARE | CONNECT | SERVE | MULTIPLY series. (I’d call it book 2.1+ of 4!)
Everywhere Leaves Out Nowhere: Strategies for Evangelism for the Rural Church
My friend Charles was known to say, “We need an ‘Everywhere Leaves out Nowhere’ evangelism strategy! If we shared everywhere, nowhere would be left out!” I’m praying for a 2026 release date for this book. Or not. We’ll see!
