Daily Discipleship

Christian Legal Society kicked off the new Daily Discipleship time this week. The idea started because our new president, Lucas, wanted to provide a daily opportunity to spend time in community with other Christians. In the past, a Bible study met once a week and the fellowship that was experienced through it left those of us participating wanting more opportunities like it.

The Daily Discipleship is available for anyone who is seeking an opportunity to spend more time with other Christians or wanting to learn more about being a Christian. The Bible reminds Christians repeatedly of the importance of meeting together to seek Him and hold each other accountable.

Hebrews 10:24-25: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

As Christians, we are called to provide encouragement and strength to each other. What better time to do that than in the middle of such a trying time as law school? The friendships made and established during this period will be invaluable to us as we go into the “real world”. Repeatedly, we hear about the importance of networking, but it is actually more than networking to find a job, isn’t it?

The importance of networking goes beyond the job market and should be considered in reference to networking to find a true group of friends. A group of friends committed to strengthening each other and holding each other accountable. No one has yet to tell me that the legal world is easy. Rather, we hear that you must have something to stand on, a base on which to hold your views and not be molded into the stereotype that society gives lawyers.

The Daily Discipleship presents an opportunity to build these friendships and meet others ready to encourage, strengthen, build-up and hold each other accountable. It is our hope that this daily opportunity will establish a foundation to carry us and our fellow classmates far beyond St. Thomas’s walls to make an impact on the legal profession.
