Discipleship — How to Choose Someone by Pastor Josh Whitney (starts at 0:00) The Biblical mandate to make disciples is clear. The Bible calls all of us to this discipleship work. However, the first question we need to answer is who? We have limited time and energy, so we must focus our discipleship efforts. We don’t have the ability to disciple the entire church. Fortunately for us, the Bible provides clarity on who we should disciple.   Discussion Question: “How have you seen God teach you through people who are different than you?” Share an example.
