THE NEW YOUNG CHRISTIAN FIELD GUIDE: Practical advice for the modern disciple
Christianity doesn’t always line up with our friends, our interests, our work or our weekends. Our contemporary culture and our Biblical faith can come to blows at times. That’s why it has never been more critical to engage in honest, meaningful and life-giving conversations about faith as we are living our our calling, living in our community and living from our culture. This field guide is our clarity as modern disciples. Discover how you can follow Christ beyond a one-time decision of accepting Jesus into a life-long journey of discipleship with Jesus.

THE BLUNT BOOk
We have We all have times in our lives when we have to hear the facts. To speak the truth with love is a Scriptural virtue we probably all will have to engage in at some point in our lives. Sometimes we need someone to get in our face and speak it like it is. Because sometimes we feel too emotional about it and we need someone who isn’t “feeling it” like we are. Sometimes we make it too complicated and we need someone to simplify it and call us back to the basics. Sometimes we are too close to it and we need that moment of clarity to get us back to what it’s really about.
The BLUNT book is choosing to be “blunt” on 7 specific areas in your Christian life. These areas are 7 common spiritual themes where life has made them complicated, sensitive and dramatic. And we have broken them down into a handful of easy, bite-sized paragraphs to chew on or you could just swallow them whole. We are choosing to be “downright in your face” about some of these topics we face and are wanting to call it like we see it. To share it like we think it. To hear it even when it’s difficult. This is your moment to “rip the band-aid off” and face it. These 7 specific areas and chapters in the book are here: forgiveness, shame, holiness, conflict, calling, comparison and contentment. Unpack each theme in this book as a daily devotional. Or choose to consider each theme as weekly inspiration and give it deep thought and draw you closer to Jesus.
COMING SOON: ROGUE SAINTS
Rogue Saints run head-first into Christian skepticism. We choose to show the authenticity of Jesus by winning hearts not arguments. We are “theological renegades” who believe the most powerful apologetic is you. So let your faith run wild and “GO ROGUE.”
Sometimes as Christians, we don’t necessarily “read the room” when it comes to engaging in spiritual conversations. Culture is having spiritual conversations that Christians aren’t invited into because we are giving answers to questions that aren’t being asked. Maybe instead of giving answers maybe we should stop for a moment and ask ourselves a question: “What is the right response for those who are outsiders of faith who need the redemptive work of Christ in their lives?” Rogue Saints will help modern disciples answer this question so we can become better at answering cultural questions and drawing others closer to Jesus. More information coming soon….
