The salient point of this discourse revolves around the pivotal concept of "time" within the framework of discipleship. Pastor Josh Massaro elucidates the significance of investing time in the discipleship process, emphasizing that genuine discipleship necessitates not only imparting knowledge but also the practical application of that knowledge in daily life. He draws upon biblical references, notably from Matthew's Great Commission and Paul's instructions to Timothy, to underscore the urgency of utilizing our limited time to foster spiritual growth and guide others in their faith. Moreover, he highlights that life is fleeting, akin to a vapor, thereby reinforcing the imperative to engage actively in kingdom work rather than succumbing to the distractions of worldly pursuits. Ultimately, this episode serves as a clarion call for believers to manage their time wisely, ensuring that their investments align with eternal values and the mission of spreading the gospel.
