Year 2 Participant Workbook Connected. Confident. Conscious. Do you long to feel connected as a disciple of Christ? Do you want to be confident in your discipleship? Do you need to be more intentional, more conscious of being a disciple who makes disciples? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to think about continuing in the MBLZ (“Emblaze”) program. Last year you were taught how to be Chosen, Changed, and Charged. This second year of MBLZ will take you even deeper in your faith as you embark on a powerful discipleship journey of becoming a Connected, Confident, and Conscious disciple. Last year you probably grew in ways you maybe never even thought possible. But God wants to keep fueling you to be set even more ablaze as a woman on fire for Him! MBLZ Year 2 will teach you how to be Equipped as a disciple, as you study Scripture throughout the Old and New Testaments. It is fitting that the second year of MBLZ focuses on equipping you as a disciple, because equipped is exactly what you will feel when you work through this booklet. The MBLZ Year 2 Participant Workbook was created specifically so you can walk through this second year with confidence and ease. However, despite the simplicity and efficiency of this workbook, Year Two is still just as intense and powerful as ever! The Participant Workbook includes everything you need for the 12 sessions of MBLZ Year 2. What is MBLZ? MBLZ is a versatile discipleship program intended to fuel any woman wanting to grow in her Christian faith. MBLZ is not bound by one church, one denomination, or one specific group of people. The design of MBLZ is to make a way for all women to become women on fire for Christ. For example, women can come together and start an MBLZ group regardless of where they attend church. They could be a group of friends. Neighbors. Scrapbook buddies. Book Club members. Family units. Bowling teams. Pickleball players. Or complete strangers. This flexible design of MBLZ is especially helpful for women who attend smaller churches where there is not a strong women’s ministry presence, and now the women would have the option to be involved in a vibrant women’s program. Even a church at large could use MBLZ to strengthen their current women’s ministry department, enabling the women in the church to learn and grow together in an intentional way. Whether you are a church looking to grow your women’s ministry or you are just one woman wanting to start or be a part of a discipleship group, MBLZ might be exactly what you need! The ultimate priority of MBLZ is for women to band together with the common goal to grow and inspire one another in their faith, and the versatile nature of this program accommodates all scenarios. Why choose MBLZ? There is a big need right now in the Christian faith for discipleship. Followers of Christ need to know what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. You will find many different programs that are pushing discipleship, and most of them are very effective. If you find another program that suits your needs better, then by all means please use that one! But if you are looking for something that is more natural and authentic, then the MBLZ program might be right for you. MBLZ doesn’t force discipleship. There is no pushy agenda or process. Instead, it organically leads you through a personal journey towards a discipleship-minded destination. MBLZ takes you deeper in your faith, giving you a firm foundation, so you can then move outward. This program impacts your heart so you want to be the hands and feet of Jesus. So, let’s do this again! The Lord’s not done yet.
