The Fellowship
Disciple Daily's Discipleship Residency
A residential season of biblical training, active ministry, and life-on-life discipleship.
Come live, learn, and serve alongside disciple-makers
Somethings about following Jesus can be learned from a book or a class.
Other things are learned by living alongside people who are doing it.
The Fellowship is a residential discipleship experience at Disciple Daily for believers who want to know and follow Jesus more deeply—and become equipped to help others do the same.
Spend an intentional season with us at Lone Oak in New Braunfels, Texas. You’ll study God’s Story, participate in the active ministry of Disciple Daily, and learn discipleship in the everyday rhythms of life.

Learn While Ministry Is Happening
Disciple Daily is an active ministry.
Fellows don't step away from ministry to learn about it. They step into it.
Each weekday begins around the table reading Scripture together and learning to see the Bible as one BIG story.
From there, the day may include biblical training, serving with ministry partners, preparing events, hosting people at Lone Oak, traveling to ministry opportunities, or responding to something unexpected.
Sometimes discipleship happens during a teaching time.
Sometimes it happens in the truck on the way there.
Sometimes it happens around the dinner table afterward.
That’s life-on-life discipleship.

A Rhythm for Discipleship
Ezra set his heart to study God’s Word, practice it, and teach it to others.
That simple rhythm has shaped Disciple Daily from the beginning—and it shapes The Fellowship.
We don’t want Fellows to simply know more Scripture. We want God’s Word to shape how they live and equip them to pass it on to someone else.

How Long Is The Fellowship?
Long enough to matter.
Discipleship takes time.
Rather than requiring every Fellow to begin and end on the same dates, we work with qualified applicants to determine a meaningful season of residency.
Participants may overlap throughout the year, becoming part of the ongoing life and ministry of Disciple Daily.

What happens when you spend a season here
"My time as a teamer provided Biblical training I haven't found elsewhere. My courage to question difficult issues was encouraged in the context of a daily community. This discipleship model works! To this day, Arlie still answers my questions."

“My time with Keith and Arlie gave me more than Bible knowledge. It gave me clarity and confidence. In a world where Christians often pick and choose what to believe, the storyline training helped me see the whole picture. It connected the dots. It grounded my faith in God’s bigger story. Honestly, it changed my life.”

"I once believed that what made me who I am made me sufficient to cooperate with my team. I am not enough. God's love through me was the only way to unite with them. The Fellowship program changed my perspective on loving others."

It provided both domestic and international opportunities, allowing me to grow deeper in my faith in Jesus Christ while also serving others in need. The experience I gained was valuable for both my spiritual life and career. I’m so thankful for this program!”
