The conditions of mentorship and human followership may change or be modified to suit current realities. But the conditions of discipleship remain unchanged. Jesus said:

"If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]." Luke 9:23 AMP
