Event Details
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.'" - Luke 11:1
People often ask us: what disciplemaking approach do we recommend? While there are a lot of excellent curriculums, resources and approaches, we find that a simple, "flexible framework" approach is robust enough to use on its own, but also pairs well with other tools. In this 4th session of our 10-part series, we will outline this flexible framework, and begin diving in to one of the framework's key areas: prayer. If, like us, you've often wondered if there was something about prayer you are missing or wished you could improve, you will not want to miss this.
Rachel Smith, Director of the Columbus Discipleship Network, will briefly open our time by outlining the flexible framework. However, we hope to spend most of this session unpacking the most important element of the framework, prayer, with Shawna Shepherd. Shawna is the Director of Pray for Columbus (among many other hats she wears!) and is in general a dedicated and inspiring prayer warrier. Join us!
Columbus Discipleship Network meets the third Thursday of the month for inspiration, equipping, and community for everyday disciplemakers. A catered lunch is provided free of charge, but we do ask that you RSVP. Feel free to invite anyone you think may benefit.
