Discipleship
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." - Matthew 28: 18-20
God expects us to make Disciples. Discipleship is modeling and teaching Christian principles such as prayer, scripture reading, and developing Christian practices to help one in their spiritual life. Included in this is:
-
worship
-
how we spend our time
-
how we spend our money
-
developing our spiritual gifts
-
evangelizing through our testimony
This is highlighted on our Christian Bootcamp page.
