SPF 060: Here I am! Don't Send Me

Here I am God, Send me! Go and make disciples. Ummmm...  Discipleship can be tough and there can be some obstacles that make us a bit reluctant. Today we are talking about Acts 9, being a reluctant disciple-maker and 5 reasons God gives us to be hopeful about our calling.

It would cost me our entire Christmas budget to bring a PSL to everyone at group get-togethers. Fret not, there is another easy dessert that won't break the bank, tastes like fall, and feeds a crowd.

Easy Crock - Pot Cinnamon Apples

*Note, that this is a Lauren recipe, which means I do a little of this and that - you make this your own! It would be hard to mess up - unless it caught on fire somehow. That's a hard recovery ;)

Feeds: 8-10

Time: prep 20 minutes   -    cook time varies (2 min to 3 hours)

Ingredients:

• 10-12 apples (I mix tart and sweet, like granny smith and some pink lady's or gala's) peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (keep apples from browning)
• 1/2 cup of liquid like apple cider, pumpkin spiced cider, (i've even used some apple sauce diluted with water)
• 1 - 2 Tbsp corn starch
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/4 cup or less of sugar or brown sugar (to your taste)
• drizzle of molasses (to taste)
• sprinkle of cinnamon (to taste) I use about 1 tsp
• Vanilla icecream

Instructions:

• coat apples in lemon juice and put in crock pot or insta-pot
• in a separate bowl, mix corn starch and cider (or liquid) until lumps are out
• add melted butter, sugar, molasses, cinnamon, to liquid mixture and stir
• drizzle over apples and stir to coat
• Set crock pot to low for 3 hours or Instapot to 2 minutes high pressure (then manual release).
• After cooked to desired softness, ladle over two scoops of ice cream

God has given every Christian a calling: to go make disciples of all nations. Matthew 28:19-20

A disciple is a student or follower of Christ.

Discipleship isn't just about intellect or organization!

Sometimes there are obstacles to fulfilling our calling and it makes us reluctant to obey.
