The Case for Discipleship

In this guest message from Calvary Vista's own High School Pastor, Charlie Combs builds a compelling case for discipleship from 2 Timothy 2:1-2 — opening with the striking observation from a 2025 Barna study that Gen Z has actually led the current global revival, then framing the central challenge: when hungry but undirected young believers flood into the church, the only adequate response is intentional, biblical discipleship. Drawing from the relationship between Paul and Timothy, Charlie lays out five marks of discipleship — a loving relationship built on intentionality, vulnerability, and hospitality; pointing the disciple to Jesus as the source of grace and strength; teaching the Word; giving real opportunity to serve and lead; and ultimately making disciples who make disciples.
