We Just Released Our 5th Edition Workbooks
Here’s how the transition works.
Has your group already launched—and already purchased their books?
You’re all set—no action needed.
Have you recently sent out invites—or plan to in the next 30 days?
If so, read below:
We’re excited to announce that the 5th Edition Leader Guides and Participant Workbooks are now live!
If you’re a future leader (or finishing your leader training in the app), you’ll automatically be prompted to order the 5th Edition at the end of the training or through our resources page. Your group members will be prompted to do that when they sign up and complete their orientation as well.
If your group already registered or began ordering 4th Edition books, that’s totally okay.
Here’s how to confirm which version you’re using: Check the bottom of your Leader Guide’s back cover to see your edition.
If you haven’t registered yet or bought your Leader Guide, upon sending out invites, let your group know to order the 5th Edition when they sign up.
If you already sent invites but not everyone’s ordered workbooks yet, stick with the 4th Edition for this round. (See tip below!)
If you’re using a 4th Edition Leader Guide and want to upgrade, go ahead and order the 5th Edition—just make sure no invites have been sent out yet. And if cost is a concern, reply to this email and we’ll gladly take care of it for you.
Our biggest tip—over-communicate with your group. Let them know today (or when you send invites) which Edition to order.
To be clear, in about 30 days we’ll remove all 4th Edition references from the app, resources, and bookshop. From that point on, it’ll be as if the 5th Edition is the only version that’s ever existed, and operations will return to normal. We’re simply sending this update to help groups launching during the transition avoid ordering the mixed materials.
What Your Participants Will See
After completing their orientation course, participants will be prompted to order their workbook. For the next 30 days, they’ll have the option to select the right edition and will be encouraged to check with you first.
What’s New in the 5th Edition
Updated Table of Contents and overall layout
Added new Leader- and Participant-specific coaching tips
Minor refinements throughout
Updated Discipleship Intro (Session 17)
Swapped Sessions 25 & 26 for improved flow
Introduced a new Session 26, focused on a natural send-off into multiplication and next steps in the disciple-making journey
We’re genuinely excited about these updates—they’ll make it easier for leaders and participants to step into the culture and vision of disciple-making.
