Discipleship sounds grand in theory — this session gets practical about what it actually looks like between two people in real life.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Chan describes the discipling relationship as being less like a classroom and more like an apprenticeship. What is the difference, and why does it matter for how you approach investing in someone?
