What is Discipleship? Is it a class, a seminar, or a one on one accountability relationship? What is discipleship? This is a question any believer should know how to answer.
It is important to know what discipleship is because JESUS calls us to be his disciples. To be a disciple is to be a learner. More then just a learner; a disciple is a learner who seeks to become like their master.
Thus, to be a disciple of CHRIST means you learn from him and follow him, and seek to be like him. This is why true discipleship cannot take place in just a class room, or in a seminar, or a one on one accountability relationship.
Discipleship must be something that involves your every day life. Nothing is insignificant as a disciple of CHRIST. Every day, every moment, and every activity is discipleship for the disciple of CHRIST.
Further more, for true discipleship to take place one must be learning from their master. As a disciple of CHRIST one must have CHRIST as their teacher. This is not to say that you can not learn from others, but it is to say you must never substitute what others can teach you for what JESUS can teach you. Keep in mind that JESUS will use a number of things to teach you and mold you to be like him.
Our team believes that the life of a disciple is fluid and organic. We believe discipleship can happen in all areas of life. This is why we believe creativity and artistic expression is so important in life.
In light of these things we are organizing our first "art and discipleship" project. This first project will be low key but still highly impactful.
In my next blog I will explain the project in more detail. your comments and questions are welcomed. I will gladly respond and answer any questions. Stay tuned for more on the project and the lessons we will be learning.
a servant of JESUS CHRIST,
