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.

How to Share Your Story
If we really believe what we’ve found in Jesus is good news, why don’t we share it with others? Keeping it to ourselves is like hoarding bread when you’re surrounded by people who are starving to death...and we know this, yet we still hold back. Why?
This straightforward and compelling message combats our excuses, clarifies what telling people about Jesus is actually about, and gives a simple formula anyone could use to share the Gospel today!
