[DISCIPLESHIP] 3. Start with Friendship + Aim at a Telos

Seeing Jesus with Paul Miller

Paul, Jon, and Liz continue their conversation about discipleship.

"One caution with a focus on discipleship practices is that it can be like making an amusement park about going on a ride. But you don't just go on a ride at Disney, you are immersed in an experience. Discipleship without an overall goal of growing in Christ-likeness is just getting a lot more Christian information."

"The whole process of disciple-making really begins best in friendship."

"Outside of the New Testament, one of the best descriptions of the telos of the Christian life is in Warfield’s sermon called 'Imitating the Incarnation.' He says, 'It means not that we should live one life, but a thousand lives,' because the love of Christ draws us into sharing in so many other people’s stories."
