What is Discipleship and Why is It Vital for Your Growth as a Man?

Guest: Kylen Perry, pastor at Watermark Church, Dallas, TX

 

Every man is made, but are you reactive (responding to life’s situations) or proactive (learning, listening, seeking to grow and mature)? Discipleship is a proactive relationship where individuals share what they are learning in terms of their spiritual life with others.

• There must be space for learning and gathering
• There has to be relationship and training in godliness

 

What men have you “dignified the voice of” in your life - that you’ll listen to their wise counsel and they can speak hard truths into your life? We all need “truth tellers” in our lives - and we need to be open to receive truth from those people.

 

Mark of maturity - you can learn to listen to truth…regardless of the person who delivers it or how it is delivered.

 

Where can you find those “truth tellers” - those older men who can disciple you - they are part of the body of Christ, the church.

 

One of the best things you can do as a young person - commit yourself to a cause greater than yourself! There is no greater cause than advancing the Kingdom of God and growing closer in your relationship with Christ.

 

Isaiah 66:2 - But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.

 

God will not anoint any other version of you other than the one that He created and designed for you to be!
