Following Jesus in a Politically Divided World

CAN WE LEAN INTO THE ISSUES AND LOVE WELL?

How should disciples of Jesus navigate a society clawing itself apart through politics? Should we disengage? Pick a side? Offer slogans which sound nice but express little? Insist that true Christians vote in such-and-such a way? Pursue tranquility by making contentious topics off-limits for church?
Following Jesus in a Politically Divided World suggests that disciples of Jesus navigate a politically divided world . . . by being disciples of Jesus. Jesus models the character and provides the tools we need to live as perceptive and peaceable in volatile times. Whittaker and McCoy invite you to answer 21 questions, including:

What is the purpose of government?
Do you know the times you’re living in?
What hills are worth dying on?
How do you pray for your nation?
How do you figure out what’s right and wrong as a Christian?
What does Christianity teach about the bedroom, womb, deathbed, environment, and battlefield?

Together, let’s face stormy horizons the way Jesus showed us: fully awake, yet filled with peace.

The Disciple’s Mind

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR DISCIPLESHIP OF THE MIND

What our world needs is serious disciples of King Jesus. If you desire Christlikeness in yourself and the people you lead, then let Jesus disciple your minds. A concise, punchy guidebook, The Disciple’s Mind walks you through core how tos for discipleship of the mind, including how to spot toxic ideas, cultivate intellectual virtues, think redemptively, disagree graciously, and seek the Holy Spirit’s renewal of our minds.

OVERWHELMED BY LIFE?

Sermon on the Mount:

40 Days of Learning the Ways of the Kingdom

Have you been wading in the shallows of Christianity? When longtime Bible student Jeremy Bacon began seriously studying the Sermon on the Mount, he found his tidy worldview exploding.

In the Sermon on the Mount, street-level wisdom and prophetic declaration collide. This sermon forces you to decide whether you’re going to remain part of the crowd or step out in faith and be a devoted student of Jesus.

Choosing the way of Jesus means more cost—and more reward—than you ever would have guessed. Sermon on the Mount is a forty-day discipling resource that walks you through the ways of Jesus’ Kingdom. Will you respond to the call to go deeper?
