Your 7 Marks of Discipleship
A common misconception about discipleship is that growth happens in a linear path, where each step builds on the one before. Along the path are certain steps that must be mastered before advancing and experiencing growth in other areas. But what if there is a better picture of what it looks like to follow Jesus?
Imagine the 7 Marks as spokes on a wheel. That wheel represents our spiritual journey rolling down the path of life as we follow Him. Rather than "mastering" one step before moving on to another, growth in one area of discipleship can actually help us strengthen another area. As we look at the life of Jesus and how he led the disciples, we understand that the invitation to follow Jesus is also an invitation to grow as we go.
