Talmidim

Welcome to my blog!  I serve as a Co-Pastor at Green Hills Church, in Nashville, TN.  Over the last few years I’ve come to realize another calling in my life that is equal if not greater than my calling to serve in the local church.  It’s the calling to love my wife, lead our family and disciple our boys!  

In my blog I’ll post family updates, news, & ideas from time to time.  But most of all I hope to post ideas to help you to become a better disciple and a disciple maker!  I’ll share what I’ve experienced as my parents and others discipled me.  Then let you know what we are currently doing in our home to disciple our kids. Finally I’ll share relevant ideas for discipling adults and helping them to grow deeper and closer in their relationship wiht Jesus Christ.  This will reflect current activites we are exploring and utilizing at Green Hills Church.    

Jesus had a really interesting strategy for bringing the Kingdom of God into the world.  He gathered a rag tag group of passionate yahoos and said, “come & see.”  This little band of young men (probably around the age of 15) followed, lived, and learned over the course of about 42 months.  It was a wild ride!  They many times didn’t get it.  But they were his “talmidim” (Hebrew for “disciples”).  And they were all He had!

At times it seems like discipleship is slow and uneventful.  We often wonder if anything is happening.  But over time, we see God use the key components of GRACE, TRUTH, and TIME to radically change our hearts and lives!  

Check back on my blog from time to time.  I’ll be posting different insights and ideas sharing how the ancient practice of discipleship is still relevant, vibrant, and necessary today!
