When the Christian life gets tough, we need to dig in deeper and understand that Christ gives the us the endurance to push through the difficult times by helping us know and understand the big picture. 

We know how to be a follower.

The follow button is the boldest feature on any social media platform. We’re highly experienced on how to follow along with people’s picture-perfect lives or follow with bated breath as breaking stories unfold in the news.

But to be a leader—that’s where the instructions from the user manual get a bit muddy. 

Discipleship is all about the position of serving others, not the power of how many followers you can accumulate, and it speaks of building a solid working relationship with the Holy Spirit, not your ego.
