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 slash women.

Here's what I've come to think, as I've studied the book of Revelation, that the greater

challenge of this book is opening myself up to the adjustments in my life that this book calls for. But I would say

this greatest challenge is also what offers the greatest blessing. Can we understand its call

to refuse to drift away from Christ? Yes, we can. Can we understand its call to refuse to

compromise with the world as we wait for his return.

Yes, we can't.

So the challenge of Revelation is not so much understanding it, but to gird ourselves for the endurance that it calls for.

It was probably about 10 or 15 years ago.

I was asked to help teach a study of Revelation at my church, and I began looking for a way

to say no.

Can somebody relate to that a little, maybe?

But I thought, you know, maybe before I said, no, I should read the book.
