It should again be noted that Discipleship is ultimately about what you do and who you are, rather than what you know. For example, you can study about prayer, but are you actually praying? You can learn how to share the gospel, but do you share it? In addition to knowing and doing, there must be a spiritual element of passion and motivation sparked by the Holy Spirit. Without this, a focus on doing becomes legalism. These three elements can be illustrated as head (knowing), heart (passion/motivation), and hands (doing). All three are necessary to truly live the life of a disciple.
