Disciple

I posted a Facebook status about this yesterday, but I wanted to get into this a little more. I've been discipling 2 guys for a year or more now and I've realized something important. I am forced to grow exceedingly when I am in this position. When I am a leader and a teacher I am held to a higher standard than otherwise. When otherwise it seemed so easy to plateau and coast through life, I now find myself with no where to go but to grow spiritually. It's really cool.
This isn't why I started this journey of discipling, but a much welcomed side-effect. I started because I care a lot about these guys and I wanted to help them grow closer to the Lord. Yet, what kind of a leader would I be if I wasn't doing what I was teaching? Talk about motivation.

If you are not making disciples and being a spiritual leader in someone's life, you are seriously robbing yourself of massive growth. If you want to get serious about becoming more Christ-like and serious about improving your relationship with God, then you need to mentor someone. Don't wait until you have time, because it will never happen.

Tyler and Alex, if you're reading this, you mean so much to me. I love you guys.
