A "Radical" Life
Striving to live a life less-ordinary.

making disciples

It's slowly occurring to me that when Jesus said "go and make disciples," He might have meant more than just helping someone believe who doesn't.

There are many who call themselves Christians who are not, in fact, following Christ. There are many who do believe in God, but are not actually disciples of Christ. There are many who proclaim that they love Jesus, but nothing about their lives (other than church attendance and clean language) would indicate that it's true.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

So perhaps "making disciples" includes helping such Christians to learn to apply their faith. Perhaps it can mean helping believers see that Christianity is so much more than believing in Jesus. It's living for Jesus. It's hard. It requires sacrifice. It takes discipline. It demands action.

"...go and make disciples of all nations...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Mt 28:19-20)

WHY THE BLOG?

I'm striving to live a life less-ordinary. As followers of Christ our lives should not look like everybody elses. We should be more giving, more loving, more passionate, more sure, more...radical. But we're not. We blend in and desperately want to fit in. This blog is my journey toward to a "radical" life that doesn't look like the rest of the world.
