In this Renew Review, we explore John Mark Comer’s book Practicing the Way: Be With Jesus, Become Like Jesus, Do as He Did. This book is the cornerstone of Comer’s ministry, aimed at making discipleship central in churches. We dive into the three core goals of being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did, and discuss practical insights and sage advice drawn from Comer’s 20 years of ministry experience. The review highlights the practical, realistic, and theologically sound nature of the book, along with its comprehensive approach to spiritual growth.

This episode provides a thorough overview of how this book can serve as a valuable resource for individual Christians and church communities.
