Disciples take next steps. That’s a fact. From Moses to Abraham, Peter to Mary; even Jesus himself took next steps to follow God. As followers of Jesus we are called and invited to take next steps in our journey of faith. It’s easy for followers of Jesus to get stuck, stationary and sluggish. The Next Step Disciple is here to help us get out of our ruts and start moving! You’ll hear conversations from leaders and christians from around the country who have taken these steps in their faith journey. Join us the first Tuesday of every month and stay tuned for bonus episodes, and let’s take Next Steps together.
