I really enjoyed the talk that we had with Dr. McNaughton on Tuesday night. I really enjoyed his approach to discipleship, and I feel like he has a really good grasp and outlook on discipleship. We talked a little bit about his earlier life and how when he was searching for answers it was hard for him to find them because he didn’t have anyone to disciple him and helping him find those answers.
That is where my question came in. I asked “do you think that if you had had someone to disciple you would it have made it easier to find those answers and do you think that is something we lack in the church?” To which he of course said yes to both of those questions, and I would totally agree with him.
I feel like one of the big things that we are missing in the church is that pouring into each other, that sharing our wisdom from those further along to those who are still struggling and who are still asking questions. I feel like we need to set up a system of discipling and pouring into each other. That is how we learn. We should be helping each other find the truth. There are those of us who are further along on the journey who should be lending our hands to helping those who are still asking questions. Christ discipled a few and helped them further understand and we are called to do the same thing. It is something we are lacking and something we need to be better at doing.
