2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness...6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. Titus 2:2, 6-8

Discipleship is a calling for all followers of Jesus. Jesus spent his ministry building a relationship with and discipling twelve men for them to disciple others. Discipleship occurs naturally through relationships and involves:

• Training the basics of the Christian faith: Salvation, The Church, Bible Study, and Spiritual Disciplines
• Admonishing or calling one another to faith and repentance
• Edifying
• Teaching sound doctrine (theology)
• Training in evangelism, leadership, and apologetics
• Making disciples who make disciples
• Equipping men to practice spiritual disciplines

And they devoted themselves to the apostles 'teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[al came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47
