Feeling inadequate to do anything, they resort to doing nothing. Hannah had a problem ..read more

When I think of the first woman I discipled, I cringe at our horrible beginning. I approached discipling as a teacher might teach algebra or biology. I used lots of words, I assigned her reading passages to study that I thought were relevant to her life, and I had a plan of how I would lead her to a deeper understanding of God and her faith.

She was a child of God with whom the Lord had entrusted me. I was there to come alongside her as she naviga ..read more

And how can people like us be comfortable with a ..read more
