Discipleship is life on life. Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica, “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well” (1 Thessalonians 2:8). I have been a recipient of this kind of discipling relationship, and I pray you also seek out a mentor who can do the same in your life. With at least one person coaching you and encouraging you and holding you accountable, you can go farther and achieve more than you ever thought you could by yourself. If you already have that person in your life, lean in. Get intentional. Ask them to help you. If you don’t, I encourage you to pray that God sends you someone. That person may already be closer than you think. A disciple is one who is committed to live in a way that pleases God. Discipleship is the lifelong process of becoming that person who not only lives that way, but shows others how to do it also. That person must learn it, do it, and show it. That’s the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) in a nutshell; that we make disciples as we go, wherever we go, with whomever we come into contact. It is an exciting journey full of twists and turns, but definitely worth it!
