The process of discipleship always works best if there is some sort of a plan. The only problem with plans, of course, is that they involve...well, people! Sometimes people encourage us by their spiritual responses and steps of obedience. We love that! At other times, however, we find ourselves discouraged by creative excuses or lack of follow-through or ebbing interest. Even worse are those who, over time, fall away from Christ entirely. What has happened to our former disciples? Have we failed? Is there something wrong with our discipleship approach? In this opening session, we want to chart the course for our time together. We want to study Scripture and think about our discipling. We want to encourage one another and revitalise hope, and in doing so, we want to "keep it real."
