“Disciple” is a dynamic term for a “learner” or “student” who actively learns, through hearing and practice, the teaching of his or her teacher. A disciple is one who “is intentionally equipped with the Word of God through accountable relationships that are empowered by the Holy Spirit in order to produce Christ-likeness.”6 At the core, a disciple is not one who is in a static state of being, but one who continually grows and develops.
