The truth is, all disciples are Christians, but all Christians are not disciples. And Jesus wants you to be both. This 8-week, in-depth Bible study helps individuals and groups discover the difference between Christianity and discipleship with practical insights straight from the pages of God's Word. \"I became a Christian when I was just a child,\" said Laurie, \"but in my twenties I came to a spiritual crossroads. My life and my marriage were falling apart. I was faced with two options. Option one was to continue doing life my way, as a pretty good religious person. It's what I call casual Christianity. Option two was to accept Jesus' call to 'Follow Me, ' and become His disciple. I chose option two, to follow Jesus - to become a disciple - and I am so grateful that I did.\" Laurie outlines the differences between these two options by contrasting the 7 characteristics of casual Christians with the 7 distinctives of devoted disciples. \"A Christian is a believer,\" she said. \"A disciple is a follower.\" \u003cb\u003eAre You a Disciple?\u003c\/b\u003ewill help you discover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe difference between Christianity and discipleship\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to know if you're a Christian\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to know if you're a disciple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe 7 characteristics of casual Christians\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe 7 distinctives of devoted disciples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e How to become a disciple who makes disciples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cb\u003eAre You a Disciple?\u003c\/b\u003e is a workbook\/video study and is formatted for individual and group use.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurie Cole is the Founder and President of Priority Ministries, a ministry dedicated to encouraging women to give God priority.
