I grew up in a Christian home and from my early teens I believed that Jesus died for my sins, and I wanted a relationship with God. However, I made a lot of excuses for not engaging in typical Christian practices like attending church, reading my Bible and regularly praying.
I met the Navigators in 1966 and ‘spiritual generations’ was often mentioned, but it wasn’t until the summer of ’68 that the Lord got my attention through words which have become my life verses.
I used to think I was only useful to God when I had spiritual conversations with people or when they came to church with me. What a reductionist view I had about how to love people and how to let God be God!
I have often thought of the disciple-making vision as a vision of love. Love in our culture is a vague concept: a feeling, an emotional high or goodwill towards humanity.
Inside Out 2 is billed as the ‘feel everything’ movie of 2024. Sitting next to my pre-teen son in the cinema, we prepared ourselves for an emotional rollercoaster of a film, and it did not disappoint.
Before moving to Scotland to do Connect (the Navigators internship programme), I didn’t have much experience doing discipleship intentionally. I had taught people things and shared my life with friends. I just hadn’t met with someone with the intention of making disciples.
