Today’s Topic: Jesus, Discipleship and Spiritual Formation

Guest: Eric Lattimer, Resident at Movement Christian Church

OVERVIEW: What is discipleship? What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Are there stages of spiritual formation? How can we group spiritually as disciples? How can we model Jesus’s discipleship model in the home? These are some of the questions we will be asking on today's episode of Jesus and Next Gens!

-  Disciples are followers and students of Jesus.

-  Discipleship is what it looks like to live as a follower and student of Jesus

-  A disciple understands the relationship between walking with Jesus and reflecting that to the people in their lives.

-  Discipleship is not about being knowledgeable but learning what Christ taught us and then teaching it to others.

-  Discipleship and mentorship go hand in hand. Mentorship finds its way in discipleship.

-  Spiritual formation aids in the process of living like Jesus.

-  Spiritual formation is living out an authentic relationship with Christs. This is a way in which we walk with God, it is not a checklist that we must complete in order to be close to God.

-  Discipleship does not just happen at church, but in the home with the family.

-  Start with basics: teach kids the love of God early on and how to forgive and love others. Then they will soon begin to understand the love of God and live more and more like Jesus as the love of God continues to change them.
