discipleship
discipleship–the act of becoming a follower of jesus christ.
discipleship is the life-long pursuit of a christian to become more like jesus each day. this time of year, we begin our discipleship courses again…training our teens to be like christ. there are four levels of discipleship available: h2o, h2o deeper, h2o 3d, and 212 degrees. throughout these courses we’re required to read our bibles daily, pray daily, go on two 48-hour liquid fasts in the 6-week period, witness, take sermon notes on sunday mornings and wednesday nights, serve in the youth department, etc.
discipleship changed my life as a teenager. i remember doing the homework and being accountable to my youth pastor. it taught me to become disciplined in my walk with god, to read my bible daily, to pray consistently, to witness. i fasted for the first time during a discleship course. most of all, i spent an hour every sunday with teens and young adults my own age who were just as hungry as i was for spiritual growth. i’m so glad i stepped up and took that course!
i want to encourage you to take part in a discipleship course. i promise you’ll grow as a christian. seek him…you will find him.
