Agreed. Discipleship takes forms that depend on circumstances. I’ve never been in a church that had a consistent discipleship program. The power of relationship is ignored. Discipleship requires character development, and that requires relationship.
Showing up every time the doors open is completely inadequate. Few of us have access to anyone qualified to mentor us, so resources such as Stand to Reason are a vital supplement as we attempt to disciple ourselves.
The population shift from urban to rural makes ministries such as STR even more crucial for training, but the relationship gap grows. Maybe algorithms analogous to dating sites could be used to match mentors with mentees.
That brings me to a second concern. The speakers at STR are great, but they are not Greg. The succession plan is not obvious.
We follow Paul not Jesus: Read KJV Rom 15:8,15:16 as Members of the Body of Christ. It's through Paul's gospels that we will be judged.
