Discipleship in Community

There is a tendency to think of discipleship in individualistic terms. Though not less than individual, it is much more than that. This talk looks at the theological foundations for thinking rightly about discipleship. This in turn provides a solid foundation for our practice in the church. This has implications for the way we think about what church is and what it is for, as well as implications for our church structures, forms, and leadership practices. In addition, we look at the inseparability of discipleship from mission and the disastrous consequences of separating them.
