How to Be a Disciple
A Six-Part Lenten Drama Series

“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.” (John 15:8)

How to be a Disciple is a six-part series of dramas featuring the first Twelve disciples, each exploring a piece of the discipleship puzzle. The disciples are placed in a light-hearted contemporary setting, helping listeners to get a sense for the down-to-earth interplay between personalities. The progression of the series is meant to provide worshippers with the larger picture of discipleship means. (Two to five characters per drama.) The Rev. John Wolf is a pastor of two Lutheran congregations in Inwood, Iowa.
