Small group ministry is one of the most impactful aspects of NET Retreats. For decades, we’ve seen small groups make a major difference in the lives of young people.
To make the impact of small groups last longer than a single NET Retreat, all retreat hosts receive this curated bundle of YDisciple content, giving you tools to follow up with your students and continue discipling them long after the NET Team leaves.
Small Group Resources
YDisciple is NET’s small group discipleship resource that provides faithful adults with the resources they need to make young disciples in their communities. NET Missionaries will help your young people encounter Jesus, and these resources give you tools to help your young people deepen and sustain that relationship.
This 4-part series is our foundational study on discipleship, intended to be the first study completed by every small group. Teens will dive deep into what it means to follow Jesus. (Also in Spanish).
Use this 5-part series as follow-up if you chose the Never Alone (Confirmation) NET Retreat theme to explore the truth that every Catholic Christian is invited into a living relationship with the Holy Spirit (also in Spanish).
Use this 4-part series as follow-up if you chose the Overflow (Eucharist) NET Retreat theme to dive deeper into what it means to live a sacramental life.
Use this 4-part series as follow-up if you chose the Created & Claimed (Identity) NET Retreat theme to help young people wrestle with important questions like “Who am I?”
Bonus Content
This collection of 10+ standalone sessions explores who God is through the lens of questions teens actually have. (Also in Spanish).
These single-session, non-video guides are created to introduce teens to the Saints and challenge them to see how they can emulate the Saints in their own lives. Access the first five sessions for free, or upgrade to YD Premium for the full collection.
Adult Leader Training
Relational ministry and small group skills are major focuses of NET Missionary training. With YDisciple, you have access to videos that cover the same content used to train NET Missionaries so that you can form adult mentors to make young disciples in your community.
This series helps adult leaders understand the philosophy behind a small group discipleship approach and provides practical tips on how to facilitate small groups (also in Spanish).
This handbook is full of tips, tricks, and best practices from communities around the world, providing what you need to train adults, launch small groups, and make young disciples.
Sometimes, the seemingly unimportant aspects of ministry can make or break a small group. This collection of 20+ short videos covers a range of practical ministry topics to better equip your leaders.
This 8-session training course, hosted by Jim Beckman, dives deep into the theology of discipleship and offers practical application in ministering to young people.

YDisciple's Mentor Profiles were created to help encourage and inspire potential adult volunteers to take on mentorship roles in the lives of young people, specifically as small group leaders. Our team flew around the continent (and across the ocean!) to talk with some of the adult mentors who inspire us about how and why they do what they do.
