Episode 236: Remember Discipleship? Let’s Do It | EK Strawser
Hole In My Heart Podcast
Friday, February 14, 2025 - 46 minutes
Discipleship is something Christians are talking about more.
It’s so important. But…what is it?
Today, author and pastor Eun (EK) Strawser helps understand what discipleship is as well as:
--How can we become a community that centers discipleship?
--How can we know if we are doing it “right”?
--How does parenting relate to discipleship?
| Highlights |
- “Discipleship means to imitate Jesus within the context of a community for the renewal of the local place around you.”
- “If discipleship is centered within a community, then that also means within a family.”
- “The discipleship of deficiency develops because people self-disqualify themselves all of the time. Jesus set out and said, ‘Every one of you who are making an intentional decision to imitate me within the context of community, you are a disciple maker. Go and make more.’ If that’s the call, then that should not be a leadership call. Making disciples should not be a criteria for leaders. It should be a baseline criteria for every congregant.”

Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
