Stay in the Way, friends.

I'm baaaaack--and talking about discipleship. Today, I get into it with Hal Perkins, the founder of the Discipled By Jesus model of discipleship. This is the first of a five (or more) part series. You can find his books and his ministry, HeartWalk here.

Leonie Ponsford introduces us to the organization No One Dies Alone, which enables her to sit and vigil with people who are in the last stages in their lives. I hope that this helps you consider the spiritual discipline of sitting with those who are hurting and dying. If you are looking for places to volunteer in your area, you can start here:

I had the opportunity to talk with Ron Lundy, a longtime member of the Santa Rosa Nazarene Church. He has been visiting people in the hospital for two decades and spent some time with me to talk about some tips for how to do this ministry and the temperament that is necessary if you want to be successful. I hope you are staying safe and growing in Christ through this time of COVID19.

Stay in the Way.

This is part two of a two part episode on the Christian Year and its use for Christian Discipleship. Here is the image that we reference that gives you a visual for the cycle of the Christian Year. Advent starts on December 1 this year! I hope you are preparing for the coming of our Lord.
