SUMMARY: In this episode, Brian and Rick speak with Jeff Vanderstelt, the lead teaching pastor at Doxa Church in Bellevue, Washington, about the varying forms that discipleship can take. Jeff explains that the best idea of discipleship isn’t necessarily just one person discipling another but rather a variety of different people, situations, environments and relationships that lead to more effective discipleship. Jeff shares his biblical basis for “all of life” discipleship and discusses what it looks like in the context of group life in his church.
