The Three Goals of Apprenticeship to Jesus
The podcast discusses the three goals of apprenticeship to Jesus: to be with Jesus, to become like Jesus, and to do as he did. Being with Jesus means organizing one's life around deep union with him, experiencing love and intimacy that transcends human relationships. Becoming like Jesus involves the deep longing to be filled with love and goodness, to be transformed into his image and character. Doing as Jesus did is the desire to contribute to the goodness of the world, to leave a positive impact and make a difference. These goals are not mutually exclusive, but rather interwoven, forming the framework for a life of apprenticeship to Jesus.
