What Is a Biblical Disciple? Making Disciples Who Follow, Are Changed By, and Are Committed to Jesus | E33
What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this episode of On the Move, host Leanne White sits down with Pastor Josh Robinson from the Bridge Church in Venice, Florida, to explore the biblical foundation of discipleship and the Great Commission.
Josh unpacks a simple but profound definition: A disciple is a follower of Jesus who is being changed by Jesus and is committed to the mission of Jesus. Drawing from John chapter 1, Josh walks through how Jesus called ordinary fishermen into a life-changing journey of following a Rabbi who would transform everything about them.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
- Why discipleship actually begins with evangelism, not just spiritual growth programs
- How following a first-century rabbi meant total life transformation, not just learning information
- The powerful chain reaction from Edward Kimball to Billy Graham—proof that investing in one person can impact millions
- Three practical steps to make disciples: invest, invite, and inform
- Why the church must be a "fishing boat" focused on the mission, not a "cruise ship" focused on comfort
Whether you're a pastor, missionary, or believer asking "Who is my one?"—this episode will challenge and equip you to live on mission for Jesus. Because Jesus has saved us not just for us, but to be sent for Him.
