Becoming A Passionate Discipler - Part 2

Oct 11, 2026  •  Dr. Curt Dodd

The Apostle Paul was a man driven by a divine purpose: to see others grow in Christ and to equip them to carry the torch of faith forward. He poured his life into people like Timothy and into the churches he planted, knowing God’s plan was bigger than his own tenure. This journey of discipleship, of following and learning from Christ, is not just for apostles. God calls every believer to make an investment in the lives of others. It’s a journey that has no limits, because the impact of one life poured into another can ripple through generations.


This is more than just sharing information; it is about sharing your life. In 1 Thessalonians 3, Paul gives us a powerful example of what this looks like. He reveals the heart of a passionate discipler, one whose greatest joy is seeing others stand firm in the Lord. As we explore his words, we discover the key characteristics required to equip others for their walk with Christ.
