Saturate: Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life is unavailable, but you can change that!

What does it look like to live for Jesus in the everyday stuff of life? Many Christians have unwittingly embraced the idea that “church” is a once-a-week event rather than a community of Spirit-empowered people; that “ministry” is what pastors do on Sundays rather than the 24/7 calling of all believers; and that “discipleship” is a program rather than the normal state of every follower of Jesus. ...

“If my parents didn’t know how to make disciples, what were they doing all those years?” I asked myself. As I stared at the water, it dawned on me that no one had ever validated what my mom and dad did. It didn’t fit into the mold of church programs. The leadership of the church never told them that they were doing the work of the church in their home. Church had been wrongly defined only as an event: a Bible study on Wednesday or a class and the worship service on Sunday. People went to church.
