A Prayer for the Disciple
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory,
he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power
through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may
have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth
and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that
surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with the fullness of God.
—Ephesians 3:16-19 NRSV
Christian Education is most
closely identified with gaining information or expertise.
In a holistic approach, there is much more that shapes and forms
disciples of Jesus Christ. Disciple Formation describes
the process and practices of Christian maturity.
