The Crisis of Discipleship in the Western Church

Jerrad talks with author and teacher John Mark Comer about discipleship, spiritual formation, and what it takes to follow Jesus in a culture that often pulls in the opposite direction. John Mark explains why spiritual disciplines matter, how they shape a man’s heart, and why comfort and complexity keep many men stuck.

What You’ll Hear:
• Why most Christians are living in the gap between belief and practice
• How to become a disciple, not just a churchgoer
• What apprenticeship to Jesus looks like in real life
• How the Church lost sight of discipleship
• What John Mark learned living in Portland and LA
• Why slowing down is the starting point of spiritual growth

Tune in for a  talk about what it means to follow Jesus with your whole life.
