Discipleship in Real Life
There’s a difference between becoming a Christian convert and being a Christian disciple. Life with Jesus is daily! Sometimes we think of discipleship as what we do by attending a church service. That’s certainly part of deepening our faith, but what about during the week? How does our discipleship intersect with our lives Monday through Friday? In this series, we’ll talk to the Capital Church staff about how discipleship intersects with their daily lives in leadership, marriage, friendships, career, and other ways.
