Everyday Discipleship
Paperback
|
The gospel is not meant to make us hyperspiritual. It's meant to make us fully human.
Do you love Jesus but struggle to connect your faith to your daily work, hobbies, relationships, and everyday decisions? Many of us havebeen shaped by an understanding of discipleship that's focused primarily on "spiritual things" like reading Scripture, praying, and going to church. We might view the "secular" parts of our lives as neutral at best, or dangerous distractions from what's truly important at worst.
You might have questions:
Pastor Jeremy Treat understands this disconnect. In Everyday Discipleship, he dismantles the harmful sacred-secular divide that leaves many Christians feeling spiritually compartmentalized, uncertain about how faith applies to ordinary life, and unable to fully enjoy Christ in the entirety of our lives.
This practical, transformative book reveals how following Jesus encompasses every sphere of our existence, from the meals we eat to the work we do, from our engagement with technology to our approach to relationships. The included discussion guide helps groups dig deeper and put these ideas into practice.
Explore how faith in Jesus shapes the most practical areas of your life:
Trade a compartmentalized mindset for a holistic understanding of discipleship that is rooted in the good news of Jesus. The mundane, often-overlooked parts of life can become infused with meaning and purpose as you learn to follow Jesus even in those areas. With Everyday Discipleship, begin to fully embrace your ordinary life to the glory of an extraordinary God.
