How do we understand discipleship?

Discipleship = Directed Relationship

Direction without relationship is the kind of “discipleship” that says, “Read this book. Take this class. Listen to these sermons. Memorize these answers. Follow these steps.”

Relationship without direction is the kind of “discipleship” that says, “Let’s just hang out. Let’s meet every week for coffee. How about getting a softball team together?”

Discipleship = Directed Relationship

Directed to what end? Maturity – Col. 1:28-29

Discipleship = Spiritual Parenting (1 Thess. 2:6-8,11-12; 1 Cor. 4:15; 1 Tim. 1:2; Titus 1:4)

Where should discipleship happen in the life of the church?
