Discipleship is the practice by which someone is followed and their doctrine is spread. Assuming you are asking this in a biblical context, discipleship is the practice of following Jesus, and thus encouraging others to follow him as well. It is the way by which his teachings and his doctrine are spread to the world. More specifically, being a disciple is about holding to Jesus' teachings, and falls synonymous to the word 'discipline'. Christians were first called Christians because the disciples were like Christ.

What does the story of Martha and Mary reaching out to Jesus when their brother dies teach us about discipleship?

One of the main things we are taught is not to back away from God when something terrible comes into our life. There is only one God and we need to cling to Him in what ever way our lives take us. We are not to go to other "god's" (and there are none) but continue to follow the LORD. Only He can see us to the end here on earth and take us into His heavenly Kingdom.
