Are we making disciples in West Missouri?
Yes? Becoming a disciple simply means being the follower of a great master, a learner who helps to spread the master’s teaching. If I embrace disciple from a that perspective I hear Jesus saying, “Look, all I’m asking is that you open your heart to learn from me, to do what I do – show kindness, love mercy and walk humbly with God.” Not easy of course, but a straightforward message.
Being a disciple of Jesus brings love, kindness and humility into the world. I want to be a part of that because living out His message does change our world – one step at a time.“

I’ll admit, for years the word disciple sounded much to evangelical for this cradle-born Episcopalian. I struggled with “go and make disciples” scripture because I was so opposed to shoving something down anyone’s throat.
Instead let’s embrace discipleship and walk together to discover the unique tools individuals, families and congregations look for that help us all be followers of Jesus.
