Genuinely Following JesusSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg delves into the true meaning of discipleship and how it relates to being a Christian. He explains that the word "disciple" comes from Bible times and is used repeatedly in the book of Acts. To follow Jesus and become a true disciple, one must carry a cross, forsake all possessions, and love others above oneself. Steve stresses that the daily task of discipleship is becoming more like Jesus and laying a foundation based on His teachings.
