We're called to be disciples and to make disciples. How overwhelming is that?! It's not. And it shouldn't be. Check out these myths about discipleship:

1. I can't disciple someone because I'm not godly enough. You don't have to have a PhD in theology or a seminary degree to meet with other believers and grow with them in a love for the Lord. Pray, read the bible, sing some songs or otherwise praise God and confess sins.
2. I can't be discipled by someone unless they are far godlier than me. The perfect mentor isn't often around. And while you don't want to ask someone to disciple you, you also can't opt out by waiting for Paul to take you on an all expenses paid trip down the Road to Damascus.
3. Only older people can disciple younger people. Older or younger; there's no magical formula for the age difference ratio of disciples or disciplers. Spiritual maturity matters more than age.
4. There's no such thing as a "co-discipling" relationship. Have you heard the phrase "iron sharpens iron?" (Psst. Proverbs 27:17) If you know a bunch of people around your age and at a similar spiritual matuirty level, co-disciple each other!
5. I have to get all my discipleship from one place or person. Discipleship comes in many forms. It's critically important to have a discipling relationship with one or more people, but you will also need to read books, listen to sermons, attend worship services, serve with your congregation, take classes, etc. It's a whole-life excerise that involves more than one venue.
6. I can't disciple others while I'm being discipled. This is absolutely the opposite of true discipleship. We should always be disicipling from the middle - with some learning from us and others teaching us.
7. I can't disciple others because I struggle with sin. Uh... that's ALL of us. If a disciple-maker needed to wait to be sinless before discipling, there wouldn't be anyone honestly discipling. Which just proves the point that sin shouldn't hinder discipleship. Of course, there are some deeper sins that disqualify one from being a disciple-maker, but we need to be truthful and realize that we all struggle with sin. Disciple others while being transparent with them about ongoing struggles.
8. I have to spend an equal amount of time with each person I disciple. Nope, Jesus spent more time with Peter, John & James than with the other 9 disciples. There are rhythms and seasons in life. There are rhythms and seasons in discipleship relationships. Spend time with everyone, but indentify those who care about being discipled and spend most of your time with them.
9. I have to spend all my time on that person I don't like. We will absoulutely have people around us and in our discipling relationships with whom we simply don't "click." Jesus set the example by seeking out and going to those whom nobody else loved. We need to do both. Hang out with and disciple the people we love being around and love and disciple the unloveable too.  That's what Jesus did.

OK so how can you begin to be in a discipling relationship? WCF has various ministries that have discipleship at the core. Men's Ministry, Women's Ministry, Sunday School, Bible Studies, AWANA...
