Every Christian needs God’s truth and community
After you have connected with the nonbelievers in your life and shared the gospel with them, anyone who trusts in Christ needs to be established in their faith. This is called discipling. In reality, every Christian needs to get rooted in the basic truths related to being a Christian and to get connected with a community of believers to continue learning. This is the ESTABLISH phase of lifestyle disciplemaking.
