Welcome back to The Now Life! In this season finale, Shawn and Josh kick things off by reminding us just how relatable Jesus is. Like us, He experienced frustration with people — yet He always responded with love and compassion. As we share the gospel and make disciples, we’re called to follow His example and not let our frustrations get the best of us. Throughout this season, Shawn and Josh have laid out the foundational elements of the Picture of a Disciple:

• Follow Jesus

• Engage with God

• Connect with Others

• Live on Mission

• Make Disciples

The first and most essential step is following Jesus. After all, how can we live as true pictures of disciples without first committing to that? As Josh points out, this step is crucial to becoming an effective disciple. If you’re struggling in this area, don’t go it alone. Seek support from fellow believers — or even from us! And once you’ve embraced the Picture of a Disciple, the question becomes: What’s your next right step? How can you follow Jesus more deeply? Which area needs your focus right now? Let’s explore these questions together as we wrap up the season!
