Exploring the profound call to discipleship in Colossians 1:28-29, we are reminded of the importance of spiritual maturity, akin to the dedication seen in top athletes. Prayer is the bedrock of our faith, essential for the church and community, as we strive to make Lexington the most prayed-for city.

Practical steps include daily prayer, Bible reading, joining small groups, serving, and sharing the gospel.
