Discipleship Episode #1
from In the Word with Roy Edwards Hosted by Pastor Roy Edwards
In this episode, I talk about what true discipleship really looks like—moving beyond church attendance or simply gaining knowledge to a daily, transforming relationship with Jesus. I walk through the biblical foundations of discipleship and share practical steps we can all take: intentionally being with Jesus, learning and obeying His teachings, living in genuine community, and helping others follow Him. This episode is clear, encouraging, and practical, and my prayer is that it helps you deepen your walk with Christ and take one intentional step toward becoming an everyday disciple.
