The Heart of Discipleship

What is Discipleship?  It is more than making homogenous copies of yourself or your most saintly church member.  It is about turning people's orientation toward Jesus, plain and simple.  It is about helping others run passionately after the Jewish Rabbi with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength.    

I don't know about you, but I am not interested in leading a group session where people simply feel like they had a good one-hour Bible study. I don't want to waste my time walking people through the charades of sudo-Christian living where the life change is bland, tasteless, or non-existent.  It has to be about real life change at the end of the day.  That life change may mean new Christians looking more like the Jewish Rabbi called Jesus and less like a good clean-cut person obeying all the rules of an American Christian (no matter how badly we would like for them to be synonymous).
