Disciple Dojo
JM Smith
What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”??
Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo.
Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture.
Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!

Bears, Boys, and a Baldhead!
One of the most disturbing stories in the Bible is found in 2Kings 2:23-25! What kind of God would send bears to tear apart dozens of innocent little laughing children?!?

Politics, Revelation, and the Kingdom of Jesus
On this Election Day 2020, we discuss the larger issues involving following Jesus in a politically divided culture. How can we push past the echo-chambers and tribalism that characterizes so much American socio-political discourse? What does the last book of the Bible have to teach us about following Jesus without getting swept up into the idolatry of nationalism? How can we engage in social media interactions that challenge and help people grow rather than just contribute to the cacophony of divisive shouting?
