In this, the last of three special episodes, Paul and Ben work through one more article that Paul has written for Renew.org. This article, Bridge the Gap, discusses Jesus' relational approach to disciple-making. It also discusses the move many churches have made in the last decade to abandon some of the long held tenets of historical theological orthodoxy, because of the fear that these positions are just a "bridge too far" for most in today's culture.
Paul presents the better way, Jesus' way, to reach and engage people with a message of hope, love, and transformation into the image and likeness of Jesus. This is at the heart of what it means to follow him as we become his disciples.
We pray you find this episode's content useful, and as always, invite your thoughts and comments.
