Would Nice Be Better?

“Why can’t we all just get along?” We’ve all heard this phrase and have likely said it ourselves, usually in the thick of a heated argument to wave a white flag of surrender. For Christians, thankfully, these words have an answer and an antidote. We know that we’re broken sinners in need of a Savior. […]

Carry Each Other’s Burdens

Carry Each Other’s Burdens

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NIV) We are living in the most connected age in history. The lightning-quick speed of communication and the vast array of communication methods we have are astounding. I am old enough to have seen the development of many […]

A New Missional Era

A New Missional Era

For the last year couple of years, I have been using a phrase that many people don’t seem to recognize. When referring to our task of taking the gospel to a hurting and broken world, I have spoken of a “new missional era.” Everyone clearly understands what new means, most know what an era is, and […]

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.
