About the series

Following Jesus, one day at a time.

Whoever wants to be my disciple must take up their cross daily and follow me.
Luke 9:23

Most of following Jesus does not happen on Sunday morning. It happens on a regular Tuesday, in traffic, at a desk, folding laundry, talking with a neighbor. The Daily Disciple asks a simple question with a lifetime of answers. What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in ordinary, everyday life?

Across thirteen weeks at New Hope, Pastors Tim Rolen, Mark Addis, and Andrew Lynch walked through the things that shape a disciple, from new birth and the work of the Spirit to Scripture, small groups, prayer, worship, calling, and the joy of sharing our faith. It is a practical, honest look at the life Jesus invites us into, one day at a time.
