We had the chance to unload some of our faith questions and spiritual journey status with some good friends of ours recently. It was definitely motivating for each of us. One of the things we realized is how much more we need to immerse ourselves in God’s word. An idea that was suggested was to explore the Word in search of some guidance for being a disciple. That’s what we are right, disciples?
Disciple essentially means “learner of Christ”. Sometimes we get into slumps and we stop learning. Together we decided that it would be good for us to reenter the role of being a student of Christ. So we are examining God’s word to find out what Jesus taught his disciples, what mistakes they made, what they got right, etc.
I’ll tell you what has gotten me so excited about learning more. We’ve realized this is a mutual need and desire and we are going to “hit the books” or “The Book” together, sharing what is revealed to us about being a disciple, a learner of Christ. It’s such a blessing to share transparently where you are in your faith and then to link up and pursue God more intensely.
Please pray for us because while this is a step of faithfulness our faith has been weak lately. Thankfully God is steadfast and he rejoices in our decision to press on.
