What if the church simply vanished - would you still follow Jesus? That provocative question is just one of many that we tackle in our deep exploration of discipleship. Guided by the influential teachings of Jim Putman, we grapple with the true mission of the church - to create not just Christians, but committed disciples. We evaluate the hindrances in fulfilling this mission, from our fast-paced lives to our hesitancy in investing in meaningful relationships. We also scrutinize the impact of discipleship within our own households, shedding light on the potency of leading by example.

Now, imagine if every believer took up the mantle of disciple-making, what would that look like? Picturing the transformation that this shift could bring about is both exciting and challenging. We dig deep into the essence of being a disciple, including the sacrifices and commitments it demands. We urge ourselves to live a life that truly reflects God's rule and discuss the need for the church to refocus from simply boosting conversion rates to nurturing discipleship. This episode is all about redefining our faith and, in the process, reimagining our churches. Join us, and let's shape this transformation together.
