Isn’t it true that what we have produced as far as disciples today is the result of the kind of teaching and preaching we have done in the past. To continue to do the same and expect different results is loonie bin kind of behavior.

I agree, great questions. Oh, how very different things would look if that was really our focus. It would certainly be much more relational/communal and it would be more practice based rather than memorization of formulas and bullet points.

Great questions about how different things would be if we really focused on training and teaching whatsoever. I think it would look VERY different. I think it relates well with Brad’s earlier post from The Sky Is Falling, much of what we would “train and teach” would be focused on participating in what God is doing in the world rather than how we can consume from the “spiritual food court.”
