Pastor Steven Sanchez was discipled in college by men who encouraged him in his new faith. This led to his belief that discipleship is an integral part of every Christian's faith walk and it should be encouraged within the local church. This is the first episode in our Discipleship Defined Series. Our hope is to answer the question "What is discipleship, where does it take place, and how should we respond? In our conversation, Steven and I define discipleship, describe the responsibility of the local church as "disciple enablers", and discuss why discipleship must be simple, intentional, and reproducible.
