Living As A Faithful Disciple: Inner Discipleship Training
In the lesson we discussed the need for training as disciples. We start with some scenarios where we would normally suspect training such as sports, starting a new job, or learning a new skill. Disciples of Jesus need training as well. Our discussion focused on doing a self-assessment of the two main avenues for inner discipleship disciplines: meditation on God's Word and prayer.

Introduced the need for being equipped as disciples to set up for next week's lesson.
