Discipleship

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit-Matthew 28:19


I've been thinking a lot about discipleship. As follower's of Jesus, we are commanded to make disciples. I feel like most of the church has gotten this wrong.  We to often make converts, not true followers of Jesus.  We want to see people get saved, and yes that's a great thing, but to many times we do not take the time to disciple new believers and we expect them to know how to live and so forth.  


My heart's desire is to disciple teenager's and to see them thrive in their walk with Christ.  I want to make disciples, who make disciples who make disciples.  
What exactly is discipleship? I'm not sure if I completely know, but my best shot at it is...walking along side a person, living life with them..teaching the word..prayer..


I am interested in what other's think about this topic. 
If you had to describe discipleship what would you say? 
How can we get better at this? 


Let me hear your thoughts, im interested.
