Discipleship with C.S. Lewis
A disciple is someone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, intentionally learns from Him, and strives to live more like Him. Discipleship is a widely-used word to describe a journey of spiritual growth, as such Dr. Joel Woodruff helps us grow as disciples of Jesus using the Bible and Mere Christianity as a guide.
