There are some Christians who self-identify as "Red Letter" Christians...meaning, they seek to follow the literal words of Jesus. But do they actually? Here is a friendly critique of the underlying assumptions of RLC and the potential danger of embracing such an approach.

Red Letter Christians: A Friendly Caution

What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”??

Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo. 

Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture. 

Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!
