Summary: <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/radicallychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Studying-Discipleship.png?ssl=1"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> What is discipleship? Billy McGuiggan has been studying and preaching on discipleship this year at the <a href="https://www.threechopt.church">Three Chopt Church of Christ</a> in Richmond, VA. In today’s Bible study, Billy and Wes McAdams discuss this topic of discipleship.<br> <br> <br> <br> For Billy, discipleship is about J.O.Y. putting Jesus first, others next, and yourself last. He has been challenging himself and others to consider what their relationship with the God of the Bible looks like in the marketplace. In other words, what does following Jesus look like Monday-Sunday, not just on Sundays.<br> <br> <br> <br> As always, the goal of this Bible study is to learn to love like Jesus.<br> <br> <br> <br> Links and Resources:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://youtu.be/WUtO00rJJeQ">Watch This Episode on YouTube</a><br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://amzn.to/3QPFfbn">The King Jesus Gospel by Scot McKnight</a><br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://amzn.to/47FOL6Z">Love Walked Among Us by Paul E.

I’m your host, Wes McAdams. Here, we have one goal: Learn to love like Jesus. I want to begin today by reading from Luke 6, starting in verse 27. Jesus says, <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> “I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.”<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Today, I’m going to visit with my good friend, Billy McGuiggan, about discipleship, and we hope that this study helps all of us to learn to love like Jesus. <br> <br> <br> <br> WES: Well, Billy McGuiggan, welcome to the Radically Christian Bible Study Podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> BILLY: Hey, thanks, Wes. Thanks for having me.<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: So excited to have you, Brother. We get to hang out at the Red River Family Encampment every year, and just being with you, hearing you preach and teach, and just getting to spend time with you is some of my favorite time of the whole year. You are such a tremendous encouragement to me, so I am very excited for other people to get to hear your thoughts on the podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> BILLY: Thanks very much. I’m very excited. Hopefully, I don’t get too excited.<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: Well, we’ve been talking to various preachers about what they’re currently teaching and preaching or what they’ve been teaching and preaching on recently, so tell us about what you’ve been teaching recently.<br> <br> <br> <br> BILLY: So every year I have a theme of what I...
