The Living Faith Bible Institute holds to a biblical philosophy of discipleship, which means a form of discipleship that looks like what Jesus offered his disciples, or what Paul offered Timothy and Titus: an up close and personal form of mentorship where a mature minister invests a biblical doctrine, principles and lifestyle into the life of a younger believer. For decades now, the churches in the Living Faith Fellowship have taken this discipleship approach very seriously — allocating people and resources to make discipleship their priority within their local churches. This approach to ministry has resulted in more zealous and mature church members, with greater biblical proficiency and personal maturity. With this in mind, the Living Faith Bible Institute has developed a new online resource to help pastors gain a biblical philosophy of discipleship as well as free training and coaching as their church implements discipleship. In this episode of the Postscript, Brandon Briscoe interviews Kenny Morgan, the Chair of the Foundations Program and Discipleship Pastor at Midtown Baptist Temple, to share with us about Discipleship Central and why this tool will help pastors and leaders effectively advance discipleship in their churches.
