This series focuses on the question “what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?” (according to John’s gospel) and how answers to this question shape what it means to follow Jesus today. The series is meant to be theologically and practically constructive, allowing our community to explore how the theme of discipleship in John is deeply intertwined with theological concepts like Christology and participation, while also pointing towards how John means for disciples to live their everyday lives. Speakers will be assigned a passage from John, but will be given the freedom to explore how it provides insight towards a theology of discipleship and practical encouragement for disciples. Emphasis will be placed on concrete
examples and strategies for faithful discipleship within the context of ministry. The series will encourage and instruct our community about the importance of maintaining faithful discipleship after Jesus in our own lives at TEDS as we prepare to guide others on their own journeys as disciples.
