    Getting Started with Discipleship with Courtney Doctor

    The Lord is at work in discipleship relationships. In this episode, Hunter and Courtney Doctor close out their conversations about discipleship—they encourage us to know what is good, to teach what is good, and to watch the Lord transform us through these relationships. This episode will encourage you to persevere in discipleship and if you aren’t discipling yet, to start simply and simply start. FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is one thing you believe has preventing you from engaging in discipleship either now or in the past? Are there any specific women (older or younger) who come to mind who would be a good fit for you to ask about a discipleship relationship? What is one way you could become more involved in your local church, specifically to be around older-than-you and younger-than-you women? Make a list of questions that have served you well over the years. Try to keep those in mind to press deeper into conversations with other women. “Tell me more” is a great example.  What’s one way you can feast more on God’s Word today in order to feed another woman at a later time? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

    What Discipleship Isn't with Courtney Doctor

    When we talk about discipleship, it’s important to know what it is and what it is NOT. Discipleship is not merely meeting at a coffee shop, or merely theological conversation, or merely good advice. With encouragement and conviction, Hunter and Courtney Doctor spend this episode dispelling myths we believe about discipleship—and there are some that might surprise you!  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Have you learned from mentors in the past when you’ve gotten to see them in real-life contexts? Does it offer you encouragement when you struggle in similar ways? In what ways have the “inconvenient conveniences” of discipleship impacted your joy and your growth? Who are some women or spiritual mothers in your local church who you learn from, even if you are not formally meeting in a discipleship relationship? How does it free us to disciple or ask to be discipled knowing that is doesn’t have to be a “bestie” relationship forever? What is the Spirit prompting you to do when you think about how discipleship is not optional? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

    Coming Alongside Women in Hard Places with Amy Gower

    “Discipleship in a fallen world is discipleship in a hard place.” This is how Amy Gower approaches discipleship as she ministers to women who have recently been rescued from human trafficking and addiction situations. Join Amy and Hunter as they discuss what it looks like to root yourself in God’s Word while walking through the open door of ministry in difficult places.  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How does the gospel shape how you approach discipling people in difficult situations? What can we glean from Jesus Christ’s life and ministry when preparing ourselves for the good work the Lord has set before us? How might modeling you prayer life after Jesus’ affect how you go about discipleship? What is one open door for ministry that the Lord has for you right now? How might you prepare right now for this good work? How can developing a robust theology of suffering (rooted in God’s Word) help you in discipleship contexts while also keeping in mind the other person’s greatest need in that moment? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

    Discipling the Next Generation with Adam & Chelsea Griffin

    Parents are not the only ones called to disciple children! In this episode, Hunter talks with Adam and Chelsea Griffin about discipling the next generation—they talk about the biblical basis for it, offer encouragement to parents and church families, and also get into practical ideas to help the next generation of believers grow in their love for the Lord.  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Why is discipling the next generation important? How can the church as a whole come alongside families to help disciple children? What are some specific areas in which you’d like to grow when it comes to discipling the next generation? If you are a parent, how does remembering the gospel for yourself affect how you interact with your children, especially in moments of discipline and instruction?

    Discipleship in Every Season with Melissa Kruger

    Discipleship looks different in different seasons. We don’t always have the same capacity, schedule, or set of circumstances as our seasons of life shift and change. In this episode, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor and Melissa Kruger about the practical elements of discipleship and pointing others to Christ in all of life. We’d love to hear your discipleship stories! If you have a good discipleship story to share, please record a 30-to-60-second voice memo and send it to info@journeywomen.org. FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some opportunities you have in your current season to invite a younger or older woman into your home? (After kids’ bedtime, lunch after church, etc.) How can you be intentional to make your conversations with Christians look different from conversations in the world? Before you enter a group or one-on-one discussion, what are some specific questions you can take time to think through beforehand? What are some healthy expectations for discipling? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

    Word-Centered Discipleship with Elizabeth Woodson

    In this episode, Hunter chats with Elizabeth Woodson about centering our discipleship relationships around the Word of God. What does it look like to be committed to Word-centered discipleship?

FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Have you experienced firsthand the difference between secular mentorship and Christian discipleship? How are these distinct?

    In this episode, Hunter chats with Bev Chao Berrus about discipleship in the local church and how God designed it for our spiritual good! Disciples are made within the context of the local church, and God himself gives us this example in the pages of Scripture and throughout the history of the Church.

What are some specific opportunities you might be able to use to disciple others in your local church? Do you have a “good story” of discipleship in the local church?

    What is Discipleship? with Courtney Doctor

    In this episode, Hunter chats with Courtney Doctor to begin our new series, Displaying the Gospel through Discipleship. One way we display the gospel and live on mission is through our discipling relationships. Yet, so many of us are intimidated by Christ’s command to go and make disciples. In this series, we will grow in our understanding of discipleship and how we can practically go about doing it.  Over the past two years, Courtney and Hunter have been working on a verse-by-verse Bible study on the book of Titus entitled Titus: Displaying the Gospel of Grace. Many of us are familiar with the classic Titus 2 passage on discipling, but through this entire series, we hope to highlight the beauty of intergenerational relationships in the church and what it actually looks like to display the gospel through those relationships. In this episode, they're talking about what discipleship is—whether formal or informal—what discipleship has looked like in their lives personally, and what Scripture says should be at the heart of it all. Courtney Doctor received an MDiv from Covenant Theological Seminary and currently serves as the Director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition.  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How do you define discipleship? How has discipleship played a role in your life? What are the things to “insist on” in a discipleship relationship? What could formal or informal discipleship look like in your life right now? Who is someone (older or younger) who you could ask about beginning a formal discipleship relationship together? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
