Basic Training 2.0 (BT 2.0)
What Can Happen Through One Man?
BT 2.0 is a 26 week small group that invites men to focus their energies to be disciples of Jesus Christ. It is perfect for the believer who wants to ground their understanding in what it means to walk in a relationship with God. It is also just right for seasoned believers who want to realign their life to God.
The Work
Over the course of 26 weeks, each man will read through much of the New Testament, memorize a verse each week and read some of the best books on discipleship written in the last two decades:
Key Texts:
Radical, by David Platt
Counterfeit Gods, by Timothy Keller
The Life You've Always Wanted, by John Ortberg
Just Walk Across the Room, by Bill Hybels
The Next Christians, by Gabe Lyons
As an additional resource, you will use the tools taught in:
Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods, by Rick Warren
Any one of us can read a book, or five for that matter. Transformation happens in BT 2.0 when truth meets life in the context of honest, safe friendship.
Each week in your group, you will process what you are reading together. You are not required to agree with everything that you read and the group is the perfect place to talk it through and discover the right application for your life now.
Within each session, your group will break down into smaller groups where men will update each other on life and you can invite accountability into your life where you need it now. You will pray for the other men and they will pray for you. Men who work through Basic Training together find that they have brothers for life from then on.

The Mission
BT 2.0 is not an end in itself. For many men, they find that it lays a foundation that opens new doors for ministry and service. It transforms their approach to work, family life and community. Instead of becoming this restricting agent, shrinking your ability to enjoy life, the new vision for God's Kingdom actually transforms all aspects of your life and giving them back to you in greater fullness.
Each man, upon completing BT 2.0 receives a baton. This baton represents the vision of discipleship that you receive in your group experience. That experience is something that you will be called to steward. As you bear the baton, it will be a reminder to you, to get the vision to the next generation coming up in the faith and coming into the faith.
