4 C'ing the Future



Welcome to the Friday Forum (moved to Wednesday this week). Randy shared with us the need for intentional processes of developing discipleship programs within the church. One of the keys of any discipleship process is to have a constant "starting over." He used a cute name for his process. His cute name is 4 C'ing the Future. The C's include: Called, Connected, Committed, Commissioned. The key is that once you are "commissioned" or sent into new areas of ministry you revisit your calling. The idea is simply that we are never finished with the process of discipleship.The forum was a reminder that it is important for us, at Grandview, to be more intentional about discipleship (even if we don't give it a cute name). I haven't done that well!

Visiting the forum was Lee. Lee used to be a Beeson Pastor and has now returned to Asbury as Director of Alumni and Church Relations.
