What Is Relational Discipleship? Living the 7 Discipleship EmphasesSample
Focus
Pause for a moment to offer thanks for the gift of family in whatever form it takes in your life. Thank God for adopting you into the Family of God, too. Offer the Lord gratitude for those in your life who love you, care for you, and show up for you.
Apply
While family life can be different for each of us depending on our personal history, culture, or calling in life, we can all love others the way Christ Loves us. The way we love the people closest to us is a testimony to God’s Love for everyone. How can you better demonstrate God’s Love to those closest to you today?
Respond
Jesus, You are the Lord of Love. Show me how I can Love my family and friends today, so they will know how much You Love them. Bring all people into Your Family, so that we may Love one another in Your Name. Amen.

About this Plan
At its core, discipleship is relational, accompanying others as we follow Jesus together. Yet recent trends show that the Church has not accompanied youth in this way, with more than 1 million walking away from the Church each year. This 7-day devotional launches you toward discipleship that is radically focused on Jesus so everyone can experience the abundant life Jesus offers.
