Thoughts On Christian Discipleship

I have been having different conversations with people regarding discipleship. What does it look like? How should we engage in it? Who does it involve? As I thought about this subject for a little while, I start to see that discipleship is personal as well as public, when it comes to our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is personal in the sense, that this is affecting our individual self. Growing, maturing, learning and developing as people in Christ. It affects the public relationship as well because of our personal impact in the community of believers. Discipleship is one thing that Christians need to engage in. We grow, when we find ourselves in a discipling relationship, both being discipled as well as discipling. Is discipleship really something that we must have a program for, or is it different for each individual? Meaning, are we more concerned with the people going through discipleship classes, than with what we want to have happen in the process? Is discipleship to happen more outside the classroom and the church building in the everyday life? Are different generations more concerned with discipleship than others, such as emergents and genx, boomers and busters? These are more or less thoughts on Christian Discipleship. I am sure that I have left so many things out, but what are your thoughts, what does discipleship look like to you? Can you help answer or search for answers to some of these questions on Christian Discipleship?
