The Ezra 7:10 model: 

     Jesus' goal for his disciples was that they would go out and disciple others.  This is always the final step  because until we have learned and are living what we've learned, we cannot effectively lead others.  This is really a circular, never ending process, for even when we are leading others we are still learning and living what we learn ourselves.  One of the interesting things about Jesus is that while he did teach the "crowds", he discipled a very limited number of people at any one time.  As pastoral leaders we are often put in positions to practice almost exclusively "teaching the crowds", but as disciples of Jesus, our model is to disciples a smaller group.  The ministry of mentoring/discipling individuals or very small groups of potential leaders is a critical part of discipleship that some people are recapturing.  None of this was new with Jesus or Ezra before him, Moses in Deuteronomy taught the same model, "Hear O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I am addressing before you today; you shall learn them and observe (live) them diligently. . . . teach these to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away . . . (Deut. 5 & 6).  So here is a simple model for disciplship from Ezra:  "Learn It, Live It, Lead It".
