What Is Discipleship and How Is It Done? // Ask Pastor John

We all know the call to make disciples of all nations, but where do we start? And how do we know if we have actually succeeded?

A new week begins, a sweet week, and a very full one in Minneapolis as we welcome many friends in town for the annual Pastors Conference, the Bethlehem Conference for Pastors & Church Leaders in Partnership with desiringGod.org, once again downtown at the Minneapolis Convention Center. This year’s theme: “Joy Set Before Us: Perseverance and Hope in the Day of Opposition.”

For these first three days of the week, we will be talking about the reality of cultural opposition to the gospel and learning how to spiritually flourish and faithfully minister in the face of cultural persecution, however subtle or severe. It is of course a leaders conference, but I think this one, of all years, will be especially relevant for any attentive Christian who wants to engage our culture thoughtfully and humbly. The speakers include you, Pastor John, of course, I know you are prepared and ready to go. Also Don Carson is in town, Jason Meyer, Léonce Crump, missionary Tim Keesee from the Dispatches from the Front DVDs is in town, along with Os Guinness, and many other speakers.

Well, to the inbox. Many questions have come in this month about discipleship. What is discipleship? What is the aim of discipleship? And how is it done typically? To orient us on discipleship, what would you want to say, Pastor John?
