Summary

Discipleship looks different in different seasons. We don’t always have the same capacity, schedule, or set of circumstances as our seasons of life shift and change. In this episode, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor and Melissa Kruger about the practical elements of discipleship and pointing others to Christ in all of life. We’d love to hear your discipleship stories! If you have a good discipleship story to share, please record a 30-to-60-second voice memo and send it to [email protected]. FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some opportunities you have in your current season to invite a younger or older woman into your home? (After kids’ bedtime, lunch after church, etc.) How can you be intentional to make your conversations with Christians look different from conversations in the world? Before you enter a group or one-on-one discussion, what are some specific questions you can take time to think through beforehand? What are some healthy expectations for discipling? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
