Yet another way we can strengthen our discipleship is to notice the other characters in the gospel stories and see how God works in and through them. How do they receive their call from Christ? How do they respond to it? What happens after these characters have a personal encounter with Jesus? How does their discipleship affect their families and communities? What allows them face ridicule and danger with faith?
