I’m noticing a shift in my perspective of ‘dying’ as well as in the power of belonging. Let me tell you an ongoing story.

Yesterday was the 1st anniversary of my mom’s home going. Yep. She has been in a different dimension of life for a full year! With our incomprehensible God! With my dad and so many others who are special to her. Including dear Zachi, her grandson who was born 7 years ago this past Sat. and joined her the end of last year. These anniversaries bring eternity to the forefront of my thinking. What delight is happening up there? Events that cannot be compared to the joy and suffering we have at this present time. (more…)

For a long time now, I have been trying to find a way to describe the extent of the difference between Christian Formation and traditional forms of discipleship training. It’s a much bigger paradigm shift than many realize, and communicating that difference is something of a challenge. Because much of the terminology is familiar, it is easy to think that Formation is just another program like all the rest.

I think perhaps the difference between sailing and rowing provides an excellent analogy for the difference between Formation and older forms of discipleship. So I have written an article with that in mind, with the hope that this will make for a better understanding of how significant this paradigm shift really is.
