The Goal Of Discipleship:

Everyone talks about making disciples, but do we really know where we’re going? Without a clear destination, spiritual growth can feel confusing, even frustrating. In this episode, we break down the true goal of discipleship: to grow into maturity in Christ.

Using the analogy of a road trip, we explore the essential elements of intentional discipleship and how Jesus modeled a relational, reproducible process for spiritual development. Whether you're just starting your faith journey or already discipling others, this episode will help you see the road ahead more clearly.

📖 Key Topics Covered:

✔️ What it means to be “mature in Christ”

✔️ Why good sermons and spiritual habits aren’t enough without a destination

✔️ The 3 key ingredients for spiritual growth: leader, environment, and process

✔️ How Jesus discipled through relationships, not just teaching
