Light & Heat
Early in my discipleship journey, I became painfully aware of “the gap,” that distance between who God had called me to be and how I live. I could fixate on my failings and be consumed with destructive tendencies toward unhealthy introspection and despondency. Left to myself, there is a good chance I would have become “ineffective and fruitless” in my faith (2 Pet 1:8). But Todd walked alongside me.
Tennent is committed to thoughtful engagement of the whole family. Not only do we welcome families to attend our residencies, but we want to walk beside families to encourage and nurture whole-family discipleship. Today we’ve invited Frank Trimble, the Director of Training and Consulting for Family Time Training, to share his vision for including children in corporate worship.
In his message, “Multiplying Disciples,” from the CFC Non-Ignorable Conference, Michael Morgan shares his concern over a present-day crisis of discipleship. What are preconditions for Christ-exalting multiplication? What are distinguishing marks of a cruciform culture? What are symptoms of unhealthy pseudo-discipleship?
Is this what Christ called us to do: tie people emotionally to a place, personalities, programs, and people? Cory Hartman and Will Mancini urge us to get beyond attractional ministry to focus on what really matters: discipleship. Hartman, one of our adjunct faculty in applied theology, is the Lead Content Developer at Auxano, the ministry consulting organization founded by Will Mancini to help churches realize their vision.
