Hi, my name's Courtney Doctor, and I serve as the Director of Women's Initiatives at the Gospel Coalition.

And as followers of Jesus Christ, you know we're all called to go and make disciples,

which sounds simple enough, help others follow Jesus as they grow in their love and knowledge of Him.

But that doesn't mean it's easy.

So we're inviting you to join us for the demystifying discipleship cohort. In this six-week virtual cohort, you'll hear

best practices from women like Jen Wilkin, Melissa Kruger, and Karen Hodge, women who have

thought long and hard about discipleship and implemented it

in a variety of settings. This cohort is for any woman who wants to disciple others, to be

discipleship, to be discipleship, or to see discipleship permeate her church culture.

Registration closes January 16th, so register today at TGC.org

Well, I would argue every Christian should be reading biography. So if you're a new Christian,

start with biography. If you're a professor in a seminary, you need to be

reading Christian biography. Biography, obviously, that's good stories. And so everyone loves a good

story and a page turner. But more than that, I think good Christian biography teaches us and shows

us what the Christian life looks like with the ups and downs.

The best biographies are those that show when people made a mess of their Christian life,

and God still use them.
