About this episode

This episode explores the meaning of being a disciple and the importance of understanding why Jesus came.

Disciple is a word we no longer use in our daily vernacular. However, in the first century it held a powerful meaning, of a person patterning their life after their teacher or master. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that being a disciple only applies to one’s behavior. To understand WHAT it means to be a disciple we must first understand WHY Jesus came in the first place. Being a disciple starts with the heart.
