Class 1 in our BOLD Course on Christian Discipling & Biblical Counseling. Adapted from Capitol Hill Baptist Church's Core Seminar on Christian Discipling: https://CapitolHillBaptist.org/sermon/class-1-what-is-discipling Description from SermonAudio: Discipling is the intentional, relational, and loving practice of guiding fellow believers toward spiritual maturity through consistent engagement with Scripture, rooted in the Great Commission and modeled by Christ's own example. It is not a program or passive activity, but a deliberate process of equipping others to follow Jesus by fostering obedience to His Word, repentance from sin, self-discipline, and a growing desire to share the gospel. Central to this work is the transformation of character and life, not merely moral improvement, as believers are called to be conduits of God's truth, nurturing one another in the context of authentic relationships within the church. The goal is to help others become mature in Christ—grounded in Scripture, equipped for every good work, and able to discern truth for themselves—so that the entire body of Christ grows in unity, faith, and holiness. This work is not reserved for pastors or experts, but is the shared responsibility of every believer, carried out through personal investment, mutual encouragement, and the faithful teaching of God's Word.
