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. Please download the document from this link and then feel free to offer your comments here.
