The Pathway to Discipleship: Following Jesus' Footsteps
In this episode, Chip and Anthony emphasize the importance of a structured pathway beyond weekly church services, based on four commands from Mark 1:17, offering practical assessments and insights to help individuals transition from seekers to mission-oriented disciples. This episode addresses the commitment to becoming a disciple of Jesus, focusing on the steps and processes that follow this commitment. The speaker reflects on their early experiences with faith, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to discipleship beyond attending church services. Using a metaphor of creating trails in the woods, Chip highlights the importance of following a clear path in life, akin to Jesus' invitation to his disciples in Mark 1:17 to 'follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.' This episode outlines a discipleship pathway with focal points including speaking one's purpose, knowing the word, investing in individuals, lifting one's heart through prayer, living in community, and sharing the message. The session leverages Luke 2:40-52 to underscore Jesus' growth as a model for discipleship and presents an assessment for self-evaluation in these key areas. The goal is to live on mission, grow in faith, follow Jesus' footsteps, and help others do the same on the mission of Disciple Making.
