Discipleship. Ugh. Let’s be honest, that word comes with some serious baggage. To some, it’s relatable but conjures up images of an intense college class. To others, it’s terrifying and implies a high-pressure check-up where we’re constantly “falling short” of holy enough.

All Jesus said was, “Follow me.”

Ask anyone who has ever started following Jesus, and they’ll tell you it can be both exhilarating and terrifying to step out at the prompting of the Spirit—away from something safe and comfortable—to follow hard after Christ. We treat faith like a destination. A line we crossed at an altar or whispered in a prayer long ago. But take a look at Jesus’ life. He never really asked people to sign a card with a dotted line or a questionnaire about beliefs. All Jesus said was, “Follow me.”

Heritage and Legacy exists, first and foremost, to point people to Christ; and to equip believers in their pursuit of becoming more like Him in their daily lives.
