Dr. Bobby Harrington is a church planter, founding director of the Relational Discipleship Network and former lead trainer and network guru for Stadia. Bobby will make the case that the local church should be committed to "Relational Discipleship" because of New Testament teaching. Discipleship is the theme behind every book in the New Testament. And God's desire is that every human being would become a disciple and follow Jesus Christ into eternity. Properly understood, discipleship is the underlying purpose of the church. In this quest, Agape love is the most important aspect of discipleship. The joining of these two concepts is called "Relational Discipleship."
