What is availability, and how does it affect a life of discipleship following Jesus? What problems exist in being available to Jesus?
Pastor Dena is joined by Dave and Linda Watkins as they talk about what it means to be a FATR disciple - faithfully following Jesus and inviting others to follow.
Pastor Dena discusses John 1:35-51 as Jesus is beginning his ministry and inviting disciples to follow him. Faithful discipleship means following Jesus and inviting others to follow, too.
