When you hear the word disciple, you may envision people who spend
all day praying and converting the masses. Or individuals who have
a natural holiness deep inside. The truth is, being a follower of
Jesus isn't a job for the perfect or the Christian elite-it's
something anyone can and should be. (And even the original twelve
disciples were far from perfect!) This thirty-day devotional looks
at the traits real, very humandisciples have, using Scripture,
first-person comments from teens, and questions that help you think
about your own disciple experiences. When you think of Peter, John,
Matthew, and even Paul, they seem to be heroes for Jesus-the ones
we're supposed to emulate and be more like. After all, Jesus
handpicked them to be his followers and ambassadors on earth, and
trusted them with everything when he left, so they must have been
really holy men, right? But if you read the Gospels and Acts
closely, you'll notice the men Jesus called into his ministry were
often clueless, selfish, afraid, and brash, and made a lot of
mistakes during their time as disciples. In other words, they were
very human. Just like you. This 30-day devotional peels back the
holy veneer and explores the character traits that mark all
disciples-things like fear, boldness, doubt, laziness, weakness,
sensitivity, brokenness, alienation, hunger, immaturity, strength,
and preparedness-and uses Scripture, real-world examples, and
questions with space to journal to help you see these "negative"
qualities actually qualify you to follow Jesus. Because
discipleship isn't something from the first century, and Jesus is
calling you to follow him today. Devotion: can be used for personal
study or in a group setting is ideal for teens and young adults
contains short readings, with full Scripture passages included,
that you can take with you anywhere breaks down the real truth
behind Scripture to show how it applies to your life today
