it starts with one
A question that we're asked a lot is:'How do we get our people/church/youth/adults to "get" discipleship?'
How do we show people it's important, how do we make people passionate, how do we encourage them to do it?
In talking with Randy Smith of Grace Church of Sebring yesterday, we heard a great answer:
'Just find one person, and do it.'
If you are the only person in your whole church that wants to be involved in discipleship, find someone younger who wants investment, and do it. Just do it. Be the example. Live it. Let the passion spread, grassroots. It will. Then when people ask why disciple, or how to disciple, you will have answers. You'll have answers because you'll be living it.
I'm not trying to oversimply the fact that you may be struggling to find other who want to be involved in discipleship. But if you aren't doing it, how can anyone else follow?
Lead. Disciple.
What's the worst that could happen?
