SmallCircle Discipleship vs Zúme

SmallCircle is specifically designed to be a laser-focused, one-to-one discipleship experience, not a group study. The life-transforming power of SmallCircle comes through the relational depth achieved through this one-to-one dynamic. We avoid merely "learning" concepts that do not put principles into action. Each of the 24 chapters includes at least one "Lab" that brings the content to life through a felt experience. These Labs have proven extremely effective in driving home the focus of each chapter. SmallCircle follows a specific, sequential path. It begins by addressing broad, foundational spiritual concepts and then moves into the practical ways we live out our faith. Next, it transitions to a focus on our relationships with others and finishes with developing readiness to become a disciplemaker. SmallCircle includes a list of criteria for a disciplemaker but does not require extensive training. The material is simple to follow and easy to navigate, with a new content navigation feature that makes moving around within the app seamless. The content structure has also been reorganized for more productive sessions. SmallCircle emphasizes reaching a depth in relationships beyond what is typical in church culture. The app now features a completely redesigned, guided onboarding process for discipleship pairings, and a new discipleship family tree to visually track the progress of your relationships. Shared notes between disciple-maker and disciple enhance communication and preparation for sessions. The redesigned notes feature allows categorization into Talking Points, Prayers, Life Events, Action Steps, and more, further aiding preparation. SmallCircle not only focuses on making disciples but producing disciplemakers. The entire last Module prepares the disciple to become a disciplemaker. A new customizable dashboard, a Bible Reading Plan feature with included plans, a new Help system, and enhanced security features for those in persecuted countries round out the updates.
