50 Lessons in Discipleship (26-30)

discipleshipIn this series, I will be sharing 50 lessons in discipleship and mentoring. These are lessons that I have learned through life, sometimes through my mentors others times through my mentoring. I pass them on in hopes that they may be a blessing to you and others. I will share five at a time, because I think each statement will be richer as they are reflected upon. Thirty-nine of the Psalms contain the word Selah to break up the Psalm. Selah is the Hebrew way of saying “stop and listen” or “think about it.” So after each of the five discipleship lessons I will put Selah. Please feel free to share lessons you have learned in discipleship or your thoughts on lessons that I’ve learned. These lessons are not in any particular order.

LESSONS IN DISCIPLESHIP

26. Helping people discover and live out their God given call in life is an aim of discipleship

27. Sacred romance is the key to becoming fully human, so we must always be increasing the divine love quotient

28. If we want to disciple people and help them become more like Christ, we must meet them where they are at, for that is the only way to help them take genuine steps forward

29. Laboring together in God’s field with friends who are disciples allows us to endure the pain of following Christ and the suffering that comes through birthing new churches and ministries

30. When working with people we should see them through the promises of God – we must by faith see who God is making them to be – not simply who they are or who they were
