A friend once told me, the path of discipleship is not a linear path stretching in a straight line from point A to point B. Rather, the path of discipleship has both its high and low points. Instead of seeing the low points as crises, we can instead consider them as part of the journey that we all must travel. Even the original twelve disciples had their high and low moments—moments that were part of their journey. However, that journey solidified their ­discipleship as they continued as learners under the care of their Master Teacher. Scott D. Whiting
