Strong Disciples Only?
June 9, 2021
Summary
People often get the impression that being a disciple of Jesus is only for the strong. When it comes to discipleship, there is no room for fear or doubt. Is that the presentation of the gospel writers? Is that what we see in the New Testament epistles? Are followers of Jesus ever afraid? Do they doubt? Jon and Justin consider these things.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are going to be talking about the nature of discipleship.
We hear that once you become a disciple, you should have courage and boldness, be able to share your faith and have a progression in holiness.
And then there are those who don't experience such changes.
Not only that, we read in the New Testament about how there are secret disciples and disciples who waver and go up and down.
They struggle with their own sin.
There's a lot the Bible has to say about discipleship, and we don't think it's a clean, straight line to the top.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ.
Conversations about Christian life from a pastoral and reformed perspective.
Your hosts today are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
And I am John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church.
Officially now back in Ringhill, Tennessee.
I've been down in Columbia, running two services in a small little building, but thanks to the Lord and the progression of COVID's whatever, we're back at our location.
So it's a big, big Sunday for us.
And one other thing, Justin, I'm just going to throw out there.
We are officially going to be able to plant Patrick Crandall, Covenant Grace Church in Columbia, and that'll be June 6th.
Well, when this comes out, it'll already be planted.
