The Lord is at work in discipleship relationships. In this episode, Hunter and Courtney Doctor close out their conversations about discipleship—they encourage us to know what is good, to teach what is good, and to watch the Lord transform us through these relationships. This episode will encourage you to persevere in discipleship and if you aren’t discipling yet, to start simply and simply start. FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is one thing you believe has preventing you from engaging in discipleship either now or in the past? Are there any specific women (older or younger) who come to mind who would be a good fit for you to ask about a discipleship relationship? What is one way you could become more involved in your local church, specifically to be around older-than-you and younger-than-you women? Make a list of questions that have served you well over the years. Try to keep those in mind to press deeper into conversations with other women. “Tell me more” is a great example.  What’s one way you can feast more on God’s Word today in order to feed another woman at a later time? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

When we talk about discipleship, it’s important to know what it is and what it is NOT. Discipleship is not merely meeting at a coffee shop, or merely theological conversation, or merely good advice. With encouragement and conviction, Hunter and Courtney Doctor spend this episode dispelling myths we believe about discipleship—and there are some that might surprise you!  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Have you learned from mentors in the past when you’ve gotten to see them in real-life contexts? Does it offer you encouragement when you struggle in similar ways? In what ways have the “inconvenient conveniences” of discipleship impacted your joy and your growth? Who are some women or spiritual mothers in your local church who you learn from, even if you are not formally meeting in a discipleship relationship? How does it free us to disciple or ask to be discipled knowing that is doesn’t have to be a “bestie” relationship forever? What is the Spirit prompting you to do when you think about how discipleship is not optional? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
