Come Learn with Me
Hey friends! I have two unique opportunities coming up this year for those who want to continue to grow as followers of Jesus. Both of these opportunities are connected to my discipleship book, By the Way.
Come learn with me!
Creating Pathways for Discipleship
(Webinar: August 15)
Missio Alliance is hosting a webinar that Sean Palmer and I are leading. This is free one-time event. Sean and I will be discussing the shape of discipleship in the church today.
In particular, I want to describe the three shifts that need to be made in the church in North America to increase our capacity to make disciples of the Jesus way.
1. Shifting from thinking of discipleship as a ministry of the church to thinking of discipleship as the task of the church
2. Shifting from treating evangelism and discipleship as separate activities to integrating evangelism and discipleship into a single action
3. Shifting from viewing salvation and discipleship as separate categories to combining our experience of God’s salvation and our intentionality to follow Jesus
The webinar is free. Register here: https://www.missioalliance.org/resource/free-webinar-creating-pathways-for-discipleship-w-derek-vreeland-and-sean-palmer/
M3 Ministries School of Formation: The Jesus Cohort (Beginning September 2019)
I’m excited to partner with veteran pastor and Bible college professor Doug Main in launching a new school of formation. Doug and I will be leading a cohort of 12-15 people through four courses during the first year focused on a Jesus-centered life and understanding of the story of God. I’m looking forward to teaching the course, “Jesus and the Christian Life.”
Each of our courses will be shaped by:
+ Conversational Theology
+ Contemplative Spirituality
+ Communal Learning
+ Cultural Engagement
This cohort is for leaders and learners who want to grow and expand their vision of the kingdom of God on earth through the church.
