Using ethnoscopic analysis, I examine how ancestral traditions perpetuate the issue. Despite its cultural entrenchment, this practice conflicts with Christian teachings on fidelity and monogamy. The paper uses Thigpen’s ethnoscopic framework to explore the discipleship issue through cultural, biblical, missional, and educational lenses. I highlight the necessity of culturally appropriate discipleship strategies and tools that fit the needs of oral learners. Ultimately, the research seeks to foster faithful Christian living that aligns with biblical principles while navigating the complex cultural landscape of Nigeria.

I use oral-based tools to present a highly efficacious discipleship strategy blueprint. These oral pedagogies are strong contenders for use among any global audience, not only those from the global south. This study focuses on the From the Nations to the Nations conference held in September of 2023 as the basis for improving cross-cultural training content and strategy. The study findings hold significance for reshaping training conferences and other teaching contexts.
