Something that changed the status of women forever. Find out why in this episode of Gospel Wabi Sabi.

It is serious business to say you are a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus had high expectations for those who were his disciples because it’s not just a transfer of knowledge but an intimacy of relationship; a life of personal surrender and sacrificial action. A person does not become a believer and then at some point down the road become a disciple of Christ. Discipleship is not a call to some higher level of being a Christian. It is being a Christian. The Bible makes no distinction between the two. Find out more in this episode of Gospel Wabi Sabi.
