16 This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ – Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)
As we continue to see incredible fruit in our discipleship school student’s lives, I find myself often sharing with others what we actually do at the school.
We haven’t discovered some breakthrough discipleship technique or curriculum. It’s actually quite the opposite. I feel like we have rediscovered the ancient paths that are rapidly being forgotten in our current world and culture.
The Lord has asked us to prioritize things like reading the Bible daily, listening for His Voice, and responding in prayer and obedience. We allow the Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us each day and constantly create space for Him to do so.
Our students read the entire Bible in their 10 months with us. We felt led not to assign any other books that may hinder them from engaging the Lord in the living Word itself during their year at the school.
After seeing how fruitful last year was, 5 local church congregations have felt led to join our 2024 student class in journeying with the Lord through the Bible together as a church over 10 months.
One of my highlights of the year so far has been hearing testimonies from many people in these churches who are falling in love with the Word of God and developing a deep intimacy with the Lord in the secret place!
