What is True Discipleship?
In one of the clearest, most concise teachings on discipleship you’ll ever hear, Gary Theisen addresses the head, heart, and hands of the discipleship process. Because the Greek word “disciple” essentially means “learner,” discipling is a process of educating and training believers to help them be more like Christ. Jesus is the Master, but we all need to be mentored by others who demonstrate mature faith and practice in the Lord, and we also need to be mentoring others in what we have learned. This teaching identifies a six-step biblical pattern for the delegation of authority that gives structure to the process of moving from new follower to mature and empowered disciple who acts in Christ’s stead. Discussed in detail are the two aspects of discipleship–personal disciplines, and faithful doing for others.
