What Babylon Teaches The Church About Discipleship | with Shanda Fulbright

Who (or WHAT) is discipling you and your family? We often talk about discipleship in Christian circles, with most of us instinctively associating it with some form of ministry training. While this is certainly an aspect of discipleship, it doesn't quite encapsulate the concept as a whole. Is it safe to assume that the Church has been exclusive in its pursuit of producing disciples? Or has the culture managed to make a few disciples of its own? In this midweek podcast, Phoenix Hayes sits down with former public school teacher, OCC instructor, and Biola certified Christian apologist, Shanda Fulbright, to talk about some practical ways to make faithful disciples. With help from Daniel and his Jewish friends, Shanda will explain what Christians can learn about discipleship from their experience in Babylon. During the episode, Phoenix and Shanda will answer questions like: What are three key ingredients to effective discipleship? Is Christian discipleship just another form of "indoctrination"? Why were Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego targeted by Babylon? How many professing Christians in the U.S. actually hold a biblical worldview? What can parents (and the Church) do to curtail culture's influence on their kids?   As you'll hear during this episode, the unwavering faith of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn't happen by accident. What was it that gave them the courage and the confidence to stand against the culture of their day? Listen and learn! Do you need help discipling your 6-8th grader?
