What is discipleship, really? It’s not a program or a checklist—it’s a relationship. Discipleship is learning to follow Jesus and inviting others to walk with Him too. It happens through proximity, conversation, and modeling a life shaped by Christ.

Jesus didn’t just teach truth—He lived it in front of people. He invited others into His life, showed them what obedience looked like, and sent them out to do the same. That’s why discipleship can’t happen alone. Community matters. We grow best when we follow Jesus together.

There is a pattern, but not a formula—teaching and modeling, invitation and practice, walking with people over time. And while we play a role, we are not the Holy Spirit. We can’t transform hearts; we can only be faithful, point to Jesus, and trust God to do the work. That faithfulness starts close to home.

We are called to disciple our children by modeling faith in everyday life, not perfection. Discipleship is simple, but it’s not easy: following Jesus together—and living in a way that invites others to follow too.
