Church doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, may actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be and make disciples. Do our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to produce true followers of Jesus?
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we dive into the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion and discipleship with Bill Hull, a “discipleship evangelist” (I love that term!) who’s the author of a bunch of bestselling discipleship classics.
A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower and disciple is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today, unfortunately, has little connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image and identity of Christ.
In This Episode of the Lifeschool Podcast You’ll Learn:
- A historical definition of “conversion” that you’ll find clarifying.
- Why conversion and discipleship are two sides of the same coin.
- The problems the Church experiences because they’ve split (or ignored) these two functions.
- Why having a bigger view of the gospel is the solution to this problem.
