Understanding Discipleship Part 1

Part 1 of 4 in the initial Understanding Discipleship Series: Ipsos Research conducted a study in 2022 in which 76% of Americans affirmed that Jesus was a historical figure. Even 50% of the unchurched agree. However, when the unchurched were asked to select words they associate with Christians they chose hypocritical (55%), judgmental (54%), and self-righteous (50%) (Jesus in America Study, Ipsos Research, 2022). No one said, “disciple”.
