12D.Life MDL Program
Master of Discipleship Licentiate Program
MDL — 90 Days to Transform Your Faith, Your Purpose, and Your Future
What Is the MDL Program?
The Master of Discipleship Licentiate (MDL) is a private, Christ-centered licensing program designed to equip committed believers with the biblical knowledge, mentorship, and practical ministry skills needed to fulfill the Great Commission. In just 90 days, you will be trained, licensed, and positioned for meaningful Kingdom work.
Unlike traditional seminary programs that require years of study and tens of thousands of dollars, the MDL is accessible, affordable, and immediately applicable. It is built on the same relational model Jesus used with His twelve disciples — small groups, personal mentorship, and hands-on ministry experience.
What You Will Learn
The MDL curriculum covers the full spectrum of discipleship — from foundational theology to practical ministry leadership. Every module is grounded in Scripture and taught by experienced, ordained ministry leaders.
