What does the word discipleship mean to you?
|
I am teaching a course at Luther Seminary this fall titled Discipleship in the Missional Church. I am also producing a version of the course for Faith+Lead Academy called Leading Discipleship in Your Context.

|
This month I would like to share some visual commentaries that I created for this course (see below). I can't wait to share the FLA course with you when it is released on the Faith+Lead platform.

|
I would like to suggest that the terms Christ and Lord, when they were used in the first century, were an attempt to find unity in the diversity of a multicultural church that was divided into factions. I would also like to suggest that we need the spirit of these terms in the fractured and divided church today, just as much as they needed it then.
