Episode notes
The Hero's Journey of Discipleship
- Discipleship is about joining a transcendent mission, like the hero's journey described by Joseph Campbell.
- This journey involves leaving an ordinary life for an extraordinary one, requiring risk and faith.
Christianity vs. Discipleship
- Jesus' invitation is not simply to Christianity, but to discipleship, a life of following Him.
- This goes beyond quiet times and personal betterment; it's a complete life re-architecture around Jesus.
Following Jesus
- Following Jesus means attaching to Him and detaching from the world; He becomes your center of attraction.
- This concept, rooted in ancient Judaism, involves reordering your life around Jesus as the organizing principle.
