Follow: Learning to Follow Jesus

FOLLOW will help you develop the seven essential attributes of a disciple of Jesus Christ. By reading the Scripture passages, answering the questions, applying the attributes to your life, and sharing your journey with a spiritual coach, you will learn how to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus. After more than five years of helping Christians grow in their walk with God, FOLLOW has been revised and updated to include the story of God's faithfulness following the motorcycle accident in 2015 when Bryan Koch and his wife, Lynn, were hit head-on by a drunk driver. Though Lynn lost her life and Bryan lost a leg, he has learned that "if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it."

Bryan Koch has served as Lead Pastor for GT Church for over 25 years. Before being called into ministry, Bryan was a professional baseball player in the Chicago White Sox organization before being hit with a 90-miles-an-hour fastball that blinded him in his left eye and ended his baseball career. In the summer of 2015, Bryan experienced something that would change his life forever when he and his wife, Lynn, were hit by a drunk driver while riding their motorcycle. That accident caused him to lose his wife of 28 years and his left leg. Drawing on his incredible life experiences, Bryan communicates with an authentic, open style that allows him to be transparent and real with people. Most of all, he is able to share about his unwavering faith which has taught him that "if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it."
