Have you ever experienced or expressed the love of God?
To be disciples of Jesus, journeying with him, learning from him, means that we have to let him lead us and teach us every step of the way. To be a disciple maker means that we point others to Jesus, and say, “Follow him. He knows the way. Listen to him. Do what he says.” As we share our stories with each other, we grow to become more like him, individually and collectively.
What about Jesus?
Jesus is calling us to “follow” him, but instead of a social media platform, he has given us his Spirit, also known as the Holy Spirit, who is constantly communicating to our spirit, showing us how to act, speak and think.
How do you begin?
What are the essentials of the transformational cycle?
- knowing and experiencing Jesus more deeply
- discerning his will more clearly
- obeying him more thoroughly
- sharing stories of this engagement
- reflecting on the process
To get started, look below. Can you answer any of the five questions?
If so, they you have already begun your journey. Ask Jesus to lead you to someone with whom you can share your story. Jesus will give you those with whom he wants you to journey together.
If not, then ask Jesus to lead you to someone who can answer these questions and ask them to tell you their story. Then start by reflecting on any spiritual turning points in your life, looking for indicators of Jesus trying to teach you through them.
