The Importance of Being an Apprentice of Jesus

Being an apprentice of Jesus, rather than just a disciple, is discussed. The term 'apprentice' better reflects the holistic model of following Jesus, where learners are with him all the time and learn how to live, not just how to think. The word 'disciple' can be easily misinterpreted and does not capture the deep and lifelong process of becoming like Jesus.
