Discipleship is one of those words we use a lot in church circles—often with the assumption that everyone knows what we mean.

Christian discipleship is not an academic exercise. It’s not about collecting information or mastering religious ideas. Discipleship engages the whole person—spirit, soul, and body. It is learning that leads to living, to transformation.
This blog follows a clear pattern, one tried and tested through pastoral ministry. It helps us understand what discipleship is - but even more how to be both a disciple and a disciplemaker - for no one is truly a disciple until they are a disciplemaker.
To understand the ethos of this blog more why not read the first two blogs by following the links here, in my first blog, Discipleship - A Lost Art? and the second blog Discipleship - Growth in Stages.
