Reviving Discipleship

I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.
— HOSEA 6:6 (NLT) ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The mission of Jesus was always about people, not programs. Those who know me personally know that I am deeply passionate about discipleship. It’s so much more than a class you might take. Being a student of and following Jesus is a way of life. It infiltrates the very fabric of your soul.

Recently, I’ve had fascinating conversations with friends, and it is evident that the Holy Spirit is stirring up in His people a thirst for genuine discipleship in the Church. One of those people is my dear friend, Carlita. During her APEST coaching session in the fall, we discovered that her ministry style is Teacher Prophet. So in the spring, when she told me that God had been calling her more and more to teach, I was not surprised. And though I had never recorded a devotional with someone, I said, “Why not do a teaching with me?” After all, Calling Qualified is all about activating women in their calling, so let's go!

Check out this open and candid conversation on reviving discipleship. Be sure to leave a comment to tell us what the Spirit is stirring in you!
