EVEN CASUAL CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER pastors inevitably turn to the increasingly crucial topic of discipleship.

His executive pastor was with us, and he added his own understanding of how to go about making disciples: “Discipleship should be organic and not intentional. It should not be planned or prepared.”
