As followers of Jesus, we are all on a personal journey of growth and discipleship, trying to become more like him every day. One amazing way that we can grow and learn is through the wisdom and maturity of those who have gone before us.

We caught up with various leaders from across the movement and beyond to hear the lessons they’ve learned from doing life with Jesus.
