A Message From Joe

Discipleship is lived, not rushed.

Following the Leader is a ministry devoted to helping people walk with Jesus in everyday life — not through the latest trend, but through steady time in Scripture and the quiet voice of the Lord.

Each morning I write a brief devotional called Morning With Jesus. It's meant to be read in a few minutes and carried through the whole day. My prayer is simple: that before the noise begins, you would hear from Him first.
