Episode 27: Grace Before Growth: Discipleship, Patience, and Reaching New Believers Who Don’t Sti...

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) What does biblical discipleship look like when new believers show up inconsistently, hesitate to engage, or quietly slip out the back door? In this episode, we have an honest, late-night conversation about discipleship, patience, and the reality of walking with people who are still figuring out their faith. We talk about why grace must come before growth, why spiritual maturity takes time, and how the church can better engage new believers without overwhelming them or reducing discipleship to attendance metrics. Using Scripture and real church experience, we explore: • What discipleship actually is (and what it isn’t) • Why new believers often struggle to connect or participate • The importance of relational, life-on-life discipleship • How churches can meet people where they are and help them grow at a healthy pace • Why patience, grace, and personal connection matter more than programs Discipleship isn’t about perfect attendance or instant maturity—it’s about walking alongside people, sometimes slowly and awkwardly, and trusting God to finish the work He started. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, Sunday school teacher, or a believer trying to figure out how to help others grow, this episode is a reminder that growth happens best in the soil of grace.
