Pastors Perspective: Discipleship

The Christian life is one of discipleship, but what does that mean?

A disciple is a learner, and the Christian disciple is one who is learning to live a transformed life for Jesus Christ. Jesus called 12 men to himself in order to instruct them on what his kingdom would look like, how his people were to live in light of that kingdom, and the hope of life with the Lord for eternity. The initial group of men that Jesus called (minus Judas) were given the ability to understand all that Jesus taught after his resurrection and receiving the Holy Spirit. Their teaching has been handed down through the Scriptures and faithful preaching ever since.

Bryan and Brian discuss their perspectives on discipleship and the importance of both learning and leading others in the faith once delivered to the saints. They also offer practical steps for being a disciple and making disciples. We pray this is a helpful tool for you and would appreciate your feedback.
