Follow The Way As A Journey
- Treat
Practice, Don't Just Assent
- Move; a way implies practices and movement, not static assent.
- Join Jesus on the way by imitating him and practicing cruciform, self-giving habits.

- Jersak insists grace must be transformative and embodied, not merely an abstract imputed status.
