Duane Sheriff teaches that four major food groups help a convert mature into a disciple. The first food group is the Apostles' Creed, which trains a believer in their new identity in Christ. The second food group is fellowship, which builds faith when believers share who they are in Christ. The third food group is breaking bread, which involves sharing a meal with others and building intimacy. The last major food group is prayer. Different kinds of prayers are effective for different situations.
