Yes, what we see in Scripture is that disciples make disciples. Discipleship is not just for those in vocational ministry; it’s not just something “super” Christians do. It is something we are all called to pursue! Maybe we know there are many benefits of these types of relationships, but we don’t know how to pursue them in our busy lives. Remember: discipleship can look different, and there are practical things you can do to make it happen!

God doesn’t care about my prayers. I don’t need to pray. These are lies many Christians believe about prayer. Instead of seeing prayer for the gift it is, we feel confused, overwhelmed, and disengaged. Maybe there’s fear, bitterness, and guilt around prayer. The only way to overcome lies is by knowing and applying truth found in Scripture. There can be joy and excitement as we experience intimacy with God through prayer.
