Summary

In this episode, Hunter chats with Bev Chao Berrus about discipleship in the local church and how God designed it for our spiritual good! Disciples are made within the context of the local church, and God himself gives us this example in the pages of Scripture and throughout the history of the Church. Friends, we pray this conversation is a helpful resource as you seek to come alongside the women in your local church and grow together in godliness! We loved hearing Bev’s discipleship stories, and we’d love to hear more! If you have a good discipleship story to share, please record a 30-60 second voice memo and send it our way at [email protected].
