Have you ever wondered how the simple act of being present can transform someone's spiritual journey? On today's episode, we explore the profound distinction between "with-ness" and "witness" in discipleship, inspired by Mark 3:14. Jesus didn’t just send the apostles to preach; he chose them to be with him. We unpack how this principle of being genuinely present with those we mentor can create lasting spiritual growth and meaningful relationships. From hiking trips to heartfelt conversations, we examine the importance of shared experiences in nurturing faith.
Reflecting on personal stories from teaching in a Christian school, we confront the limitations of traditional education methods. The goal isn't just to impart knowledge but to model a life of faith and devotion. By genuinely investing in people, we can help them become faithful, praying Christians, whether they serve as Sunday school teachers, ushers, or preachers. Our mission is to support each individual as far as they are willing to go. Join us for an inspiring discussion on the transformative power of intentional, Christ-centered relationships, and learn how to cultivate a mentorship approach that truly reflects Jesus’ example.
