The research-based app is designed to inspire and equip believers to grow in Christ and help others do the same.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., (October 28, 2025)<\/strong>: The Navigators, a 92-year-old worldwide disciplemaking ministry, has recently released the Navigators Discipleship App: a free, research-based resource providing timely content curated to equip individuals seeking \u201cto know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same.\u201d The app\u2019s intuitive design allows people to leverage this tool at their own pace and by their preferred topic, using a successful Navigator discipleship framework, The Five Traits of a Disciplemaker, as a roadmap for spiritual growth .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor nearly a century, The Navigators has been committed to a shared mission of relational, Life-to-Life\u00ae<\/sup> disciplemaking\u2014both as practitioners and as those who equip others in the Great Commission,\u201d said Marvin Campbell, president of The U.S. Navigators<\/strong>. \u201cOur Navigators Discipleship<\/em> app helps Christians live out that mission in a society hungry for authenticity, community, and practical models of discipleship.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After guiding users through a self-assessment of current strength and growth areas, the app provides a personalized plan to help them grow in their walk with God. Throughout the plan, users are encouraged to apply and share what they\u2019ve learned, so that their relationship with Jesus develops in community with others. With this new digital tool, The Navigators aims to address a felt need expressed by everyday Christians who want to share the gospel with people in their network, but feel intimidated by the idea of \u201cdisciplemaking.\u201d

The app was informed by research conducted by The Navigators in partnership with the Barna Group, which is detailed in two companion publications: Growing Together<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and How to Save the World: Disciplemaking Made Simple<\/em><\/a>. According to this research, the top five obstacles keeping believers from offering discipleship to friends or family relate to a lack of confidence they will do it well. \u201cOne of the primary ways an app can earn its way onto our phones is by simplifying something important to us that usually feels difficult,\u201d said The Navigators Vice President of Marketing, Amanda Trautmann<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that early users have confirmed our app is making it much easier to grow in Christ themselves and bring friends they care about on the journey with them, wherever they\u2019re starting from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
