Disciple Dojo: My guest article at the Christian Worldview Examiner

Why "Dojo"?

Anyone who knows me knows that one of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where martial arts are learned is a Dojo. 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 Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture. This blog, then, is intended as a virtual Dojo--where students of the Master can sharpen, challenge and encourage one another as we continue becoming more and more like the One whom we serve...minus the Tiger Balm.

Order "Bible for the Rest of Us", "Apocalypse Now??" and other resources by JM for your church, small group or personal study!

One of the beautiful things about the Christian faith is that we can be unified without being uniform. We can differ on secondary and tertiary issues, yet remained united on the essentials of the Apostolic Gospel message. This is why the Discipleship Dojo is a proud supporting partner of CharlotteONE:!

Here are links to the audio of talks I've given at CharlotteONE:

"My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?!"

"Bible 101 - Creation"
"Bible 101 - New Creation"

"The Dark Night of the Soul" (Part 1)
"The Dark Night of the Soul" (Part 2)

I am always looking for new ideas on what to discuss in the Dojo! Likewise, I am available for various speaking or teaching venues including short-term classes at churches, schools or parachurch ministries. For scheduling information or any other feedback, feel free to contact me at jamesmichael7@yahoo.com.
