We talk about growth a lot—but are we actually growing? Real discipleship requires more than just showing up on Sundays. It means walking in intentional relationships, being known deeply, and creating space for God to work in and through us.
In this episode, Pastors Micah and Shireen unpack the challenges and beauty of authentic discipleship. From vulnerability and mentorship to spiritual accountability and soul care, they share how true growth happens in honest community. They also explore the hard truths: what makes discipleship toxic, why dysfunction lingers when unaddressed, and how comparison and control sneak into our spiritual lives.
Discipleship doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be real. Whether you’re new to the concept or struggling to implement it, this conversation invites you to rethink what it means to follow Jesus with your whole heart and walk alongside others in the process.
As you listen to this episode, reflect on the following:
Are you in intentional, vulnerable relationships that help you grow spiritually? Who is speaking into your life? Who are you investing in? What’s one step you can take to make room for deeper discipleship?
