What does it really mean to be an apprentice of Jesus in a fragmented world? In this episode of Theology for the People, Pastor Heath Hardesty shares how his years as an apprentice plumber shaped his vision for discipleship and following Jesus.

Heath is the Lead Pastor of Valley Community Church (VCC) in Pleasanton, California, and the author of the recent book, All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why apprenticeship is a better paradigm for following Jesus than “just” discipleship classes

• The four pillars of apprenticeship: union, abiding, obeying, and imaging

• How sin fragments our lives and how Jesus reintegrates us

• Practical spiritual practices for ordinary Tuesdays

• Why following Jesus is a fully embodied way of life—not just information in our heads

Whether you’re feeling spiritually stagnant or longing for a more integrated faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
