Simple Steps Toward Intentional Disciplemakingعينة

Day 2: Connect in Relationship The essence of Jesus’ discipleship was simply inviting His disciples to be with Him. Through the years, those associated with The Navigators would refer to this as the “with me” principle. Jesus walked with His disciples, and so should we. Robert Coleman calls it “sticking close to those whom we seek to lead.” All this calls to mind that disciple-making is about a relationship, not a project. Those of us who are more task-oriented can forget that this is a friendship that is best cared for with patience, flexibility, and love.
