A lot of attention is given to methodologies, programmes and processes when it comes to discipleship. The reality is that these rarely produce lasting maturity in our lives, leading to frustration and disappointment. Less attention is given to the slow, patient work of formation as disciples of Jesus in our own lives and then how we get alongside what God is doing in the lives of others – how we love others towards maturity.
At EQUIP 2024, we looked at the broad themes of how people grow to maturity, and this was a taster session for a longer whole-day conference on Saturday 15th February 2025. This day conference was led by Mark Stirling, and focused on common barriers to maturity, and how those barriers are overcome, through the slow, patient work of loving the people of God.
