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!

To Know & Be Known - Part 4: Sex in the (Ancient) City
To Know & Be Known
Part 4: Sex in the (Ancient) City
When it comes to sexual ethics, the people of God (in both testaments) have always been called to be peculiar. To be different. To be Holy. So what does that look like for a follower of Jesus living in a post-Christendom, secular, sex-saturated society? How should Christians approach topics like premarital sex or same-sex marriage? How do we form our ethic in ways that engage with our surrounding culture rather than withdraw from it and circle the wagons in our protected Christian bubbles? These topics and more are discussed in this final session.
