Everyone who disciples others knows the special challenge of encouraging spiritual growth in those closest to us – our spouses, children, grandchildren, close associates, and/or good friends. As much as we value these close, intimate relationships, they do present a unique challenge to discipleship. How can we facilitate spiritual growth without violating relational boundaries or succumbing to relational over-familiarity? This session will encourage us to actively pursue the spiritual good of those close to us, and offer practical suggestions on how we might do that.
