When Jesus said, "follow me," he blew up the "first round draft pick" approach of the day and chose ordinary people to follow him, thrusting them into a 24/7 apprenticeship for which they were not qualified...by the world's standards.
The first twelve spent roughly three years with Jesus. That's over 26,000 hours. Discipleship is a slow, long walk. We cannot be empowered, equipped, and released to make disciples by attending church 50 hours a year…but we can grow as we go.
Follow our podcast on your favorite platform or right here on our website. We will have sermons, conversations with current disciples, and short teachings about discipleship, leadership, and life. Will we get to 26,000 hours? Not likely. But there's tremendous value in going together.

Listen (with Love)
Flipping through the pages of the Gospels, our attention naturally goes to the stories of Jesus doing over the top, amazing things like healing the sick, feeding thousands of people, and even raising the dead. We tend to remember the extraordinary moments, but it’s important that we don’t overlook the more frequent and ordinary things that Jesus does. The moments when Jesus gets close to another person and just listens…because, for the people he listens to - those are extraordinary moments.
