“I think my personal growth in a relationship with God is encouraged and enhanced by my
participation in DQ. I see both the struggles and successes of the group members, and I am
held accountable for my efforts in furthering my relationship with God. I am more confident that with the help of the Holy Spirit I will be able to share my faith with others in my church
community and in my personal and family relationships. Without the group and the DQ materials, I don’t think I would be learning and exploring God’s purpose for my life.” – Michele S.
“Although we’re only about a month in, I have seen tremendous fruit from the DQ program. The small size creates a trust and an accountability that is helping us to grow in our faith as well as to grow together as brothers in Christ. Our work together in the program is stoking a fire in all of us that I’m confident will carry all of us through to make disciples of others.” – Joseph
“Sharing my daily journey with others and hearing their daily journey enables me to see more
clearly God at work in my everyday life and in others’ lives. I believe God uses other people to speak to us. Having a trusted community where faith and his Word is discussed lets me hear God’s voice calling to me, nudging me to a closer relationship with him. It also gives me a safe space to practice sharing the Good News (not something that comes naturally) with the goal of being able to do that in the broader areas of my life.
“Discipleship Quads have ignited my faith, revived my love of the Church, and begun my
discernment of how I can ‘pass this on’ next year with a new group. It provides a group that
holds me accountable in my faith journey.
“It strengthens the relational ministry and evangelism part of the Catholic Church.”- Wendy S.
“When I first heard about Discipleship Quads, I thought, “that group sounds too small” and “a
year is too long a commitment.” Now that we are on week six, I absolutely LOVE it, and those
earlier concerns are gone. Four is the perfect number; everyone shares, and there is a true
feeling of trust. I have been in prayer groups for over five years running, and I have never
experienced anything as meaningful to me spiritually as this program. It is incredibly intimate
and fruitful. Already, these women know my heart and my struggles better than many people I
have known for years. I look forward to our meetings with great anticipation and joy, and I am
excited to see how He uses us down the road to help rebuild His Church. – Laura W.
