REAL Discipleship Academy

“Then Jesus said to those who believed in him, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'”
— John 8:31-32

What Does It Mean to Follow Jesus?

Jesus calls us to a radical way of life—one that leads us into true freedom. Becoming a disciple of Jesus isn’t just about following rules or traditions; it’s about embracing a relationship with Him that transforms us from the inside out. Discipleship means learning from Him, living like Him, and sharing His love with others.

Jesus’ Invitation: When Jesus calls people to follow Him, He invites them to experience the freedom of being fully aligned with God’s will. It’s not about rigid conformity, but about liberation through truth. In His teachings, Jesus reveals the path to living free from the burdens of sin, guilt, and fear.

Freedom Through Discipleship

To become a disciple means to be shaped by the truth of Christ’s words. Jesus’ truth doesn’t just inform us; it transforms us. His message of love, grace, and forgiveness breaks the chains that hold us back from living freely. As we grow in His truth, we gain the freedom to be who God created us to be, without the weight of shame or fear.

• Following Jesus means living in freedom from sin – His death and resurrection break the power of sin in our lives.
• Following Jesus means living in freedom from fear – Through His peace, we are no longer slaves to worry or anxiety.
• Following Jesus means living in freedom to love – Jesus’ love frees us to love others without boundaries.
