Many of us can attest to the powerful transformation we experienced as God worked through people to reach out to us, study the Bible with us, and then mentor us as new disciples. We, in turn, were taught to serve others in the same way. Undoubtedly, there is a strong mandate for close one-another relationships in the Bible. Yet sometimes discipling relationships can become a place for harshness, poor boundaries, and even manipulation. How should we think about discipling? What elements make it safer and more effective?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join Dr. Sean St. Jean, a professor and Christian therapist, as he unpacks these questions and presents seven elements that are essential for healthy and effective one-another relationships in the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus content: There is an additional 12
