Session 1: Following Jesus

The Practicing the Way Course

Session 1

Teaching Summary


  • Following Jesus is based on the first-century practice of rabbis and apprentices.
  • Today, to follow Jesus means to apprentice under him.
  • To apprentice under Jesus is to organize your life around three driving goals:
  • Be with Jesus
  • Become like Jesus
  • Do as he did
  • Apprenticing under Jesus means practicing a way of life.
  • One of the best ways to begin is through a daily prayer rhythm, where you create a time and place for solitude, silence, and prayer.
