Leann and Melissa discuss finding joy in following Christ and becoming a full-time disciple.
Ponder Questions:
What am I choosing to do in my spare time to draw closer to Christ? What encouragement can I give to help someone along their way?
Challenge:
During your morning prayer, ask “How can I be a more joyful disciple today?”
What can I do to find more joy as I serve as a disciple of Jesus Christ?
What one thing can I do better?
