Disciple Now weekend is a highlight of the year—packed with faith, friends, and unforgettable moments! It’s a chance to break away from the usual routine and grow closer to God. To truly make the most of it, go in with the right mindset. Here are a few tips to help you do just that:
Get Your Heart Ready for the Weekend
Think of D-Now like one of those epic road trips—if you want to reach your destination, you’ve got to prepare for the journey! Before the weekend kicks off, take a moment to pray and ask God to get your heart ready. If you know the theme or scripture for the weekend, dive into it and see what stands out to you. The more open you are to what God wants to show you, the more incredible your D-Now weekend will be.
Fully Engage in Worship and Teaching
You know that moment in worship when you can just feel God’s presence? Those moments hit differently when you’re all in. During worship and teaching, sing your heart out (even if you’re off-key), take notes and dive fully into your small group discussions. Leave the shyness at home—D-Now is a chance to ask questions and grow in your faith in a safe space. So, don’t hold back!

Connect With Your Group
D-Now isn’t just about personal growth—it’s also about lifting up the people around you. Whether you’re a seasoned D-Now pro or this is your first event, take the time to connect with others. Sit with someone new, share what God is teaching you and cheer on others in faith. Forget about your phones—this is your chance to make real memories with your group!
Serve Others
This weekend is equally about what you receive as it is about what you give. Whether it’s helping out leadership, offering a listening ear to a friend, or stepping up in a service project, remember that serving others is a powerful way to live as God teaches us to live. A simple act of kindness can totally brighten up someone else’s weekend. So, be intentional, and keep an eye out for ways you can make a difference!
Take What You Learn With You
It’s easy to be on fire for God during your D-Now weekend, but what happens when the weekend ends and Monday rolls around? The real impact of the weekend is what you take with you. Keep the momentum going by reflecting on what you learned and coming up with ways to live it out in your day-to-day. Make sure to stay connected with your group and make time for prayer and scripture every day. God doesn’t just show up at retreats—He’s with you every day!
D-Now is a chance to connect with others and experience God in a big way. Show up with an open heart, be present and take what you learn with you when it’s all over.
