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!

An Adult Virgin Talks Sex...in Church!
A talk about sex...by someone who's never had it? What could possibly be more ridiculous??
In this message, JM Smith discusses God's plan for human sexuality and what it looks like--from the sex-saturated culture of 1st century Corinth, to the sex-saturated culture of 21st century North America. How do we--both single and married--live out a consistent and godly sexual ethic?
