(a part of discipling)

The discipleship process (learning and following Jesus) includes talking, listening, questioning, studying. Preaching is foundational but communication between disciples and spiritual leaders is also necessary. Remember, the three years of Jesus ministry was spent teaching and modeling the message of salvation to His twelve disciples. The Scripture makes it clear that there were many questions, which Jesus addressed. The questions were academic and practical in nature, rather than expressions of doubt. Throughout Christian history, men of God trained younger Christians in doctrinal and practical theology.

Personal counsel and open discussion have their place in the training program of God. Sadly it is ignored by some pastors or rejected by self satisfied parishioners.

My ministry has always included discussion, questions and comments, polite disagreement. But the only answers that are given authority are Biblical answers. Opinion must agree with God and His word.

I have included a few photos depicting our seating arrangements for various sized groups (7, 13, 26). I will let you know what and when I will provide these sessions. If you are interested in learning the Biblical view about these subjects, then we should have a place for you. And of course, this is ministry, not industry so there is no cost.
