🎙️ Episode 9: “Model Before You Mentor”
Subtitle: Why Your Life Is the Curriculum
In this third lesson of the Four Keys to Transformational Discipleship series, Jermaine Pearson delivers a timely reminder: discipleship isn’t just about what you say—it’s about how you live. Your life is the curriculum.
📖 If you’ve been following the series, we’ve already covered two foundational truths:
🔑 Lesson 1: Start With Burden, Not Busyness — because discipleship begins with compassion, not a calendar.
🔑 Lesson 2: Build Trust Before You Teach Truth — because people don’t follow teaching—they follow trust.
Now, in Lesson 3, we explore the power of modeling. Because discipleship is caught more than taught—and your lifestyle is the loudest sermon they’ll ever hear.
🗣️ Jermaine shares a personal story about transitioning into new church environments after moving. From learning customs to observing altar calls, he explains how watching others helped his family adapt—and how that same principle applies to spiritual leadership. Before anyone tells you what to do, they’re watching how you live.
📖 Featured Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:1 — “Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.”
🔍 Cross References:
Philippians 4:9 — “Put into practice all you learned and saw.”
Titus 2:7 — “Be an example in everything you do.”
🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why modeling matters more than messaging
- How Paul’s leadership flowed from alignment, not charisma
- Why consistency builds credibility in discipleship
- How to live a life worth imitating
✅ Practical Application:
- Let your prayer life be visible
- Live holiness with joy and conviction
- Be humble enough to admit when you’re wrong
- Be consistent in public and private
📣 Call to Action:
Ask yourself—what part of my life would I want someone to imitate?
Then choose one area to model more intentionally this week. Whether it’s prayer, forgiveness, or discipline—live it out loud. Let your disciple see it. Not just hear it.
