This is the last of what I believe are three core components to what a good ministry looks like. The other two were in my previous posts, prayer and evangelism.
Discipleship
2 Timothy 2:2 says "And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others."
Jesus has 12 apostles who were his original disciples. Anyone who followed Jesus was a disciple. Jesus taught many things to his disciples.
We should follow Jesus' example and disciple others. Though our form of discipleship may look a little different than his did back in the day. Discipleship now-a-days is done between a mature Christian and a usually less mature Christian. To think how discipleship should look, picture a triangle between the discipler, Jesus, and the Disciple. It is a two-way relationship between the three, giving and taking between each other and the Lord. Both teach and learn from each other and lean on the Lord.

Disciple == Discipler
Each discipler should have their own discipler. That way they have someone pouring into them, so they don't run dry pouring into their own disciple.
So yeah! this is just a basic overview of what my thoughts are on discipleship! So! Disciple and mentor younger peeps in your ministry! Its a good idea...
