Discipleship and Mentoring

In one of his letters, Paul shares about his relationship with the church in Thessalonica. He nurtured and cared for them, as a parent would for a child. He also says that he shared his life with them. Discipleship happens best as people experience life together.

The heart of discipleship exists within small groups of believers who are building into each other’s lives at a deeper level – being held accountable to someone who is moving more deeply into their lives to help them work out what they’re learning. As James says, we want people not only to be hearers of the Word, but doers of the Word. Doing of the Word most often works itself out in the context of discipleship relationships. (The Right Reasons for Discipleship, Tim Henderson)
