Apprenticeship

Friday morning at 6:00 am I begin meeting with a group of men to study the book, "The Lost Art of Disciplemaking." I agree with the title. We have not only lost the art, we have lost the definition of the word. Somehow disciplemaking as become watered down to mean little more than "learning" Biblical content. Jesus' disciplemaking was more like what we call "apprenticeship." Jesus was on a mission. He told the Twelve His agenda from the very beginning, then he progressively prepared them to to take on the mantle of leadership for the church. He modeled what he expected, then he sent them out and continued to mentor them and develop them into Christ followers in the true sense of the word.
