Episode Summary:

What happens when most Christians have a definition of discipleship that's too small?

For many believers, discipleship means Bible studies, church programs, quiet times, or spiritual disciplines. While all of these are important, what if they're only part of the picture?

In this episode, Scott, Nelson, and Luke explore the most common definitions of discipleship, affirm what's right about each one, and explain what's missing. They argue that many Christians have unintentionally reduced discipleship to a handful of spiritual activities, leaving the Church with a fragmented vision of following Jesus and the Great Commission.

More importantly, they present a fuller vision of discipleship, one that extends into every area of life. They explain why Jesus' command to "make disciples of all nations" only makes sense when we recover a robust understanding of what discipleship really is. Fragmented ideas about discipleship produce fragmented consequences for the Kingdom.

In this episode:

• The difference between a disciple and discipleship
• Why discipleship is about every area of life, not just "spiritual" life
• How the sacred-secular divide has shaped modern Christianity
• Why information alone doesn't produce transformation
• How a biblical understanding of discipleship can transform individuals, churches, communities, and even nations

If Jesus has authority over all things, then discipleship must include all things. This conversation will challenge you to rethink one of Christianity's most familiar words and recover a vision of discipleship that extends far beyond Sunday morning.
