Engagement is all about care. Jesus cared for his disciples & challenged them/us to love one another. He modeled agape love beyond culture in life & death.
Every generation has unique characteristics, passions, and habits. We will be more effective in discipling the NextGen when there is greater understanding.
Too many are too busy or lazy to disciple or be discipled. Relationships and discipleship take time. Solo is a Star Wars hero, but not a discipleship hero.
Would you like to grow? Would you benefit from challenge? Are you going through a time of little growth? Then you might benefit from a discipleship mentor.
Two encounters are critical. First, the leader encounters God in His Word and is changed. Second, the leader guides the group to have a life-changing encounter.
In John 13:34-35, three times Jesus said, “Love one another.” Your group is the ideal place to practice and launch the kind of love for one another that shows the world that we are His disciples.
