Keeping it Local Series
“Keeping it Local: Leaning into Discipleship in Your Local Context” is a series intended to encourage us all to seek out discipleship and learning with women who we can spend time with face-to-face. In this series, Hunter interviews women in her own local church in Hanover, New Hampshire to try and cover all the questions that we share about discipleship.
In this episode, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor about the beauty and the mutual edification of discipleship. As they talk, you will hear Courtney’s heart for God’s Word and her passion for knowing it, loving it, being changed by it, and teaching it. We pray this episode encourages you to seek out an older or younger woman with whom you can grow in godliness.
We are so excited to share this episode with you on mentoring with Jen Wilkin and Melissa Kruger, which was recorded at The Gospel Coalition’s Women’s Conference in 2021. We pray this conversation encourages you to pursue discipleship relationships with women in your local context. Perhaps you could even grab a few women from your church and listen to this episode together!

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen Podcast, Hunter is talking with her friend Amy Knuppe on the topic of discipleship. If you’re just tuning in, the heart behind this series “Keeping it Local: Leaning into Discipleship in your Local Context” is to encourage learning from women right where we are. Hunter has been chatting with ladies from her local church in Hanover, New Hampshire. We hope these conversations help to pull back the curtain on discipleship relationships, which, let’s be honest, we have all probably felt intimidated by at one point or another. Our prayer is that this series helps you see that discipleship isn’t rocket science! The best way to do it really is to jump right in, especially with the help of your local church body.
