Following Christ is more than a decision—it’s a direction. It’s more than a moment—it’s a lifestyle. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has been relentless in teaching the Church that true Christianity is not just about receiving Jesus as Savior, but following Him as Lord. He has reminded this generation that Jesus didn’t only call people to believe—He called them to follow.
Throughout his ministry, Bishop Dag has placed great emphasis on discipleship. His book The Art of Following is a clear message to the Church that the power of Christianity lies in people who follow Jesus fully, not half-heartedly. Following Christ involves self-denial, obedience, sacrifice, and endurance. It means walking where He walks, loving what He loves, and laying down your life in service to His will.
He teaches that modern Christianity often invites people to be comfortable, but Jesus invites us to carry a cross. And that message is not meant to scare people away, but to bring them into maturity. The path of following Christ may not be easy, but it is the path that leads to fruitfulness, peace, and eternal reward.
Following With Faithfulness and Sacrifice
Bishop Dag doesn’t preach from a distance. He has lived the message of following Christ with sacrifice. From walking away from a medical career to pioneering churches in difficult areas, his life has been a journey of obedience and surrender. He has faced rejection, criticism, and loss—but he has kept following.
That is what makes his message so compelling. He doesn’t teach comfort. He teaches covenant. His followers know that he is not just telling them what to do—he is showing them how to live. That kind of authenticity is rare and deeply needed in the Church today.
In a world that celebrates shortcuts and instant success, Bishop Dag continues to preach the long road of discipleship. A road marked by daily commitment, prayer, study, humility, and obedience. He teaches that true disciples follow when it’s easy and when it’s hard. They follow when it’s celebrated and when it’s hidden.
Raising a Generation That Follows Well
The strength of Bishop Dag’s ministry is not only in what he does—but in what he multiplies. He has raised a generation of leaders and members who understand what it means to follow Christ fully. They are not consumers—they are disciples. They are not just listeners—they are doers.
In every branch, every training camp, every leadership conference, the message is clear: you cannot lead well if you do not follow well. And that following begins with following Jesus, then following the leaders He sets before you. It’s a culture that has produced order, stability, and long-term fruit across the ministry.
Through his teachings, Bishop Dag emphasizes that following requires loyalty, submission, humility, and endurance. These are not popular words today—but they are necessary for spiritual growth. He challenges people to examine who they’re following, how they’re following, and whether their footsteps are truly aligned with Christ.
The Blessing of a Life Well-Followed
There is great reward in following Christ fully. Bishop Dag teaches that God honors faithfulness. He blesses those who walk in His will. And He uses those who are available, obedient, and teachable. The path of a disciple may be narrow, but it is full of grace, purpose, and divine favor.
Through every sermon, every book, every leadership camp, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills continues to call the Church to follow Jesus—not from afar, but closely. Not casually, but wholeheartedly. Not for a season, but for life.
And the lives that have been transformed under his ministry bear witness that there is nothing greater than following Jesus all the way.
