Jim Putman on The Disciple Dilemma:
Much of western discipleship has migrated into learning facts, doing activities, and checking off membership in a church. 

Is that all there is to discipleship?  

Is it possible we have our priorities backward from the way we do church, to the way we train our pastors and seminaries? 

Who might be qualified to talk to those kinds of questions? 

If you wanted the ideal resume to talk about what it means to be a disciple, a disciple maker, a pastor, author of over a dozen books - a dozen books! and somebody who is recognized around the world as a disciple maker personally? 

Well, you'd be describing Jim Putman.  Along with all that, Jim Putman is a trophied wrestler, a wrestling coach, a husband, parent, and the founding pastor of Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, ID.
