Discipleship is hard and it is time-consuming. The results of discipleship are often discovered over years, not weeks and months, but discipleship is not an option for followers of Jesus, it is an expectation. It is the Great Commission. We have to speak up for intentional discipleship and create pathways for disciples to grow. We have to make discipleship an expectation of attenders and a part of the core DNA of our churches. We have to speak out against the idols in our culture that keep us from discipling and being discipled and we have to stand on the solid truths of God’s Word, even when it isn’t popular.

The teens and young adults into whom you invest need to know that high school and college are hard. But they also need to know that life is going to get more complex and challenging.

If you aren’t uncomfortable, you may not be following Jesus. Just consider the group of people following Jesus toward Jerusalem as he moved toward Palm Sunday. As he started out on his journey, he was met by a rich young man who asked how he could get into heaven. Jesus told him to sell everything and give his money to the poor because it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. This teaching from Jesus was so radical that the disciples were left wondering who in the world could be saved. While they were still reeling from this, Jesus “comforted” them by saying,

Much of parenting is mundane. There are socks to be mated, ballgames to be attended, and homework that has to be done. You will wake kids up for school for at least 13 years. You will be tired and overwhelmed. But, if you persist in doing good, in leading them toward the Lord, there is a prize at the end.
