What does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Is discipleship simply reading your Bible, praying regularly, attending church, and practicing spiritual disciplines? Or is there something much deeper to the Christian life?

In this first episode of our new series on discipleship, Jack is joined by pastor Ross Turner (The Nerdy Pastor) to challenge common misconceptions about what it means to follow Christ.

Together, they explore discipleship not merely as a checklist of religious activities, but as a lifelong pilgrimage of faith—one that integrates theology, spirituality, and ministry, all grounded in the grace of God.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why modern evangelicalism often misunderstands discipleship

  • The difference between doing Christian things and actually following Christ

  • How theology, spirituality, and ministry work together in the Christian life

  • Why obedience, love, suffering, and perseverance are essential to Christian growth

  • The proper place of spiritual disciplines in discipleship

  • Why discipleship begins with Christ's gracious call, not our own efforts

  • What John Bunyan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other voices from church history can teach us about following Jesus

Discipleship isn't about earning God's favor through religious performance. It's about walking with Christ, growing in grace, and being conformed to His image throughout the whole of life.
