Part of the reason that I struggled with writing for my website in 2017 was my involvement in several discipleship groups during the year. At FBC Newton, we have been focused on developing these groups (D-Groups), and they have been my priority, so anything extra was relegated to the back-burner. But as the original groups have now split into multiple new groups, my time commitments are not quite as taxing as they were, and so I now have a bit more time to write.

Who is discipling you?
Who are you discipling?
If you do not have a clear answer to these final questions, then something needs to change in your life to make space for obedience to a key command of Jesus!
And let me just say… You can do this!
