Summary

When we talk about discipleship, it’s important to know what it is and what it is NOT. Discipleship is not merely meeting at a coffee shop, or merely theological conversation, or merely good advice. With encouragement and conviction, Hunter and Courtney Doctor spend this episode dispelling myths we believe about discipleship—and there are some that might surprise you! FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Have you learned from mentors in the past when you’ve gotten to see them in real-life contexts? Does it offer you encouragement when you struggle in similar ways? In what ways have the “inconvenient conveniences” of discipleship impacted your joy and your growth? Who are some women or spiritual mothers in your local church who you learn from, even if you are not formally meeting in a discipleship relationship? How does it free us to disciple or ask to be discipled knowing that is doesn’t have to be a “bestie” relationship forever? What is the Spirit prompting you to do when you think about how discipleship is not optional? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
