Graham guides listeners through a practical, Bible-based look at discipleship, asking what it really means to obey the Great Commission and how the early church pattern can inform our modern approach.
They unpack Paul's listing of apostles, prophets, and teachers, and explain how these roles function as a pattern for equipping believers to hear God, understand Scripture, and practice discernment, rather than creating hierarchies.
They address the tension between following leaders and following Jesus, emphasizing that true discipleship starts with hearing God for oneself, with a gentle, reasonable, and merciful guide from above (James 3:13-18, John 8:31-32, John 10:27). They offer practical steps to hear God, including meditating on Scripture, testing guidance, and practicing maturity through training of spiritual senses (Hebrews 5:12). They illustrate with Acts 11:19-26 example of Barnabas and Paul to Antioch, showing outward preaching, encouragement, and teaching.
Listeners will come away with a practical, Bible-based map for discipleship that centers on hearing God, guarding truth with the word, and fostering a community where revelation leads to lasting change.
