Bible in Life

The discipleship path entails growing in faith. But that doesn't happen alone. Discipleship always happens through a life-on-life transfer. We learn from each other. We practice the "one anothers" with each other. We provide concrete examples of following Jesus for each other. 

Growing in faith happens together.

Being a disciple means you attach yourself to Jesus to become like Jesus. The goal is to become like him in character and mission.

How do you go from new follower of Jesus to substantially like Jesus? 

What's the path? 

If you're helping somebody grow as a disciple, what's the path you should be guiding them along? 

If you're a pastor, does your church have a clear path that guides someone from new believer to mature disciple? 

We need a discipleship path.

What is the Gospel?

This question is terribly to the topic of discipleship because as Bill Hull and Ben Sobels say, "The gospel you preach determines the disciples you make" ... and it will determine the kind of disciple you are as well. 

And unfortunately, the typical gospel in the evangelical church has been really good at making church members with a ticket to heaven but not disciples of Jesus. 

So what is the gospel Jesus and the apostles preached? Tune it to find out.

Be and Make Disciples

This episode explores the question, What would it have been like to be discipled by Jesus?

We can answer this question by reading the Gospels. There was this well-known line from the Mishnah about being “covered in the dust” of your rabbi. It reflects both traveling behind him learning as you discuss important topics and sitting at his feet as he taught in a house. This is exactly what we see in the gospels. In the Gospels, we see Jesus discipling the disciples.

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. ¹⁹ Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
