As we continue our journey in discipleship, we move to the next pillar: Connect<\/strong>. Discipleship was never meant to be lived in isolation; it is designed to flourish through meaningful relationships with God and with one another. To connect means to intentionally build Christ-centered relationships where encouragement is shared, burdens are carried together, and believers grow through accountability and community. Jesus modeled this throughout His ministry by walking closely with His disciples, investing in their lives, and forming a community that would carry His mission forward. In the same way, we are called to connect with others in ways that strengthen our faith and deepen our unity in Christ. Under our call, \u201cDiscipleship: Commission, Not a Suggestion,\u201d<\/strong> you will find resources here designed to help you connect with others, engage in authentic biblical community, and grow together as disciples who encourage and sharpen one another in faith and mission.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
