As Christ followers, our calling is to apprentice Jesus and make disciples of all kinds of people, submerging them in Trinitarian presence, and showing them how to follow him. At the heart of disicpleship is being transformed into His goodness, which is what the good news is all about. Discipleship is not optional, so it is important that we resource ourselves for the journey.
While there are many great resources on this topic, here are a few blog series and papers that I have done that I trust will be a help in your journey to follow Jesus.
A recent important resource is my book Creating a Missional Culture: Equipping the Church for the Sake of the World (IVP 2012). Check back at a later time for some additional resources.
