ROOTS DISCIPLESHIP CHALLENGE WEEK 1 / What is Discipleship?

At Roots, our heart is to develop each believer into a multiplying disciple of Christ. We believe every Christian is called to not only be a disciple, but then go and make disciples, obeying the command Jesus gave right before he ascended back to Heaven (Mt. 28:18-20).

Our definition of discipleship is “Intentionally pouring my life and God’s truth into another person until they get it, live it, and share it.” And we believe every discipleship relationship will involve the 5 Essentials of Discipleship:

Care
Accountability
Truth
Vision-Casting
Prayer

So for the next several weeks we will be sending out an email each Monday morning with an article to read, podcast or video to watch, and verse to memorize based on one of the 5 Essentials and other topics crucial to discipleship. We want to challenge you to join us in reading, watching, and memorizing those each week in order to grow in our understanding of discipleship together!

To make it even more effective, choose someone you are close to and work through this “together” - keeping each other accountable and talking through what you are learning.

We hope you are encouraged, challenged, and blessed by this time and are excited to see how we grow together in Christ!

Blessings,

Pastor Dave & Pastor Kevin
