I'm looking for feedback from my fellow Discipleship Network friends on how you have encouraged, challenged and spurred others on to a more pro-active form of discipelship. So many people are content to sit in the pew and observe their faith rather
A thought or three and some questions have come to mind for me after a messaging conversation I had with a mentor of mine concerning discipleship. I will do my utmost to keep this as simple as possible, mostly because I have a tendacy to make somethi
