At the last College Worship Gathering at Brook Hills, I asked the girls in our discussion group if they knew how to make disciples. They looked at me, and the awkward silence lasted until they shook their heads.
These girls want to make disciples. They know Scripture commands us to make disciples (Mt. 28:19). But they did not know what that looks like on a daily basis. This blog series will elaborate on how we as believers, as students, can practically make disciples in our daily lives. Here’s the quick answer:
RELATIONSHIPS.
Who has God already placed in your life that is either not a Christian or is a Christian whom you could disciple? Odds are that there is someone in your family, sorority/fraternity, classes, dorm, group of friends, work, intramural team, etc. who is not a believer or who needs to grow in their relationship with the Lord.
Before Jesus called the Twelve, Luke 6:12 says, “In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.”
Identify who these people are in your life. Pray and ask God to show you. Don’t just pray once, but be dedicated in prayer. Jesus prayed all night before calling the Twelve.
The relationships you have right now are for a reason. Are you being intentional in showing Christ to the people that God has already placed in your path?
Discipleship happens best in the context of relationships.
