I remember clearly the day I surrendered to Jesus and began to follow Him. For me, this happened in Sunday School. I prayed with an intern and began my spiritual journey. I was told to read the Bible every day. I was even handed a book that taught me how to read the Bible every day. I was very excited and I tore through that book in the first few weeks. I attended every event my church had. I brought my friends to church. I eventually surrendered to ministry and began serving as a leader while still a senior in high school. But I never – not even once – was given a clear direction on how to follow Jesus. I was never told what a disciple really was. Oh, I inferred these things over time, but I was never clear on them. The result is that it took me a bit longer to develop as a disciple and understand what God had done for me and what the life of a disciple really looked like. There has to be a better way.
