Renewing the Teachings of Jesus to Fuel Disciple Making
We are disciples of Jesus from various ethnicities, generations, nations, and communities and we champion all of Jesus’ teachings for disciple making and disciple making movements.
Each month, at our church, we ask the students in our Student Ministry one question about their relationship with their parents or their family as a whole, hoping to provide some insight to the parents that can help strengthen their connection with their kids. This month we asked, What’s one thing you wish your parents […]
Hey brother, I heard you’ve been knocked around a bit lately, and I just wanted to stop by and see how things are going. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you I understand how you feel. I know; it stinks when people say that. It’s cheap. I don’t want to offer something trite or flippant. I […]
I am a sports fan. I admit it. I also admit that my mood can rise and fall with the success, or lack thereof, of my favorite teams. Some of you (many of you?) can relate to this. When my team wins, I feel good and feel that life is good. I feel upbeat and […]
If we were to name the most important religious figures of the Western and Eastern world, they would be Jesus Christ for the West and Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, for the East. In this article, we’re going to contrast how Gautama and Jesus reacted when facing the troubles of the world. We […]
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” (Matthew 17:5, NIV) Throughout the Old Testament prophets, we read promises of a coming restoration that would be accomplished by God through […]
When Christianity begins to decline in a country, one of the first signs is a drop in those choosing to become leaders in churches. I lived in Canada until I was 36 and witnessed this transition firsthand, as Canada became more and more secular, like Europe did decades earlier. First, Canadian Bible Colleges failed to […]

The Disciple's Mind: Thinking Like a Disciple of Jesus, by Chad Ragsdale & Daniel McCoy
A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR DISCIPLESHIP OF THE MIND
“A must-read for anyone dedicated to the discipleship of young Christians in today’s challenging world.”
—Jayson French, president, Christ in Youth
Why should we devote time to becoming a better thinker? Is it to be the most interesting person in the room? To dominate the ideological opposition? To cultivate confidence?
Or this: the better we think, the more we become like Jesus.
What our world needs is serious disciples of King Jesus. If you desire Christlikeness in yourself and the people you lead, then let Jesus disciple your minds. A concise, punchy guidebook, The Disciple’s Mind walks you through core how tos for discipleship of the mind, including how to spot toxic ideas, cultivate intellectual virtues, think redemptively, disagree graciously, and seek the Holy Spirit’s renewal of our minds.
Your thoughts powerfully guide your life’s direction. The Disciple’s Mind will help set your thoughts in the direction of true life.

The King Jesus Revolution: Overlooked Advice for Making Disciples, by Curt Erskine
“The Jesus we preach, the gospel we uphold, and the faith we teach will determine the disciple we get.”
Practical theology matters for everyday disciples like us. We all need help understanding that allegiance to Jesus as Savior, Lord, and King is the best framework to living as true disciples.
Too often people in our churches have been taught a transactional gospel, where we make a verbal transaction to just trust Jesus for when we die. Such a gospel misses the nature of real conversion and true faith. The King Jesus gospel teaches that, yes, conversion to Jesus is for salvation from sins, death, and the futility of this life when we die, but it is also a conversion to life in the kingdom, for full devotion to Jesus, here and now, on this earth too.
