The Daily Forge with Braxton Bonds

Are You A Christian or A Disciple?

In Episode 3, we explore the difference between being a Christian by name and being a disciple by life.


We look at what discipleship actually meant in the first century—not a label, not church attendance, but a way of life centered around following a rabbi with total devotion. Jesus didn’t invite people to simply believe in Him; He invited them to follow Him.


This episode unpacks the three goals of a disciple:

• Be with Jesus

• Become like Jesus

• Do what Jesus did


We also wrestle honestly with Jesus’ call to count the cost of following Him and what it means to truly treasure Christ above everything else—comfort, reputation, success, and even self.
