Disciple? Discipler?

Written By Sandy Hafeez

In this Christian context a Disciple is a follower of Christ and a Discipler is one who makes disciples (followers of Christ) and helps them to grow to maturity.

We as Christians are both.

So what is hindering you from accepting or seeking out discipleship?

Maybe you didn’t know that you needed to. Maybe you have before and your expectations were not met. Maybe you feel like you don’t need it, you’re mature enough. Maybe you feel every woman around you is inadequate for that role.

What is hindering you from living out your role as a Discipler?

Maybe its because you feel as though you are not the type of disciple that you should be, so who are you to help someone else. Maybe its because you just don’t know how. Maybe you have in the past but it was too hard to deal with people’s issues or they ended up walking away from the faith anyway. Maybe you just don’t have the time.

The list of maybes for both of these questions could go on and on. We all live full lives, are in different seasons with unique circumstances and experiences.

So what do we do?

We dig deep. We go to God’s Word. We pray. We look beyond the surface of those reasonings to the heart of the matter. We find the inspiration, encouragement, and equipping we need.

Life Across The Table wants to be a part of your journey, to walk along side you for those reasons - to inspire, encourage and equip you, praying with you as you dig deep and walk out part of your identity as a Disciple and Discipler.
