Brave New Discipleship presents a new and comprehensive discipleship model for Christians living in a culture that has grown increasingly hostile to spirituality. This book is a toolkit of biblically sound ways to grow and strengthen your church.We live in a social climate that tries to force spirituality to take a backseat to cultural demands. We see this in the way technology has made it easy to access any kind of moral degradation. We see this in the deteriorating ethical landscape of popular culture, from unrestrained violence to open explorations of deviant lifestyles.Many young Christians see this as normal. In response to this, Christians—and especially the church at large—need a holistic discipleship strategy that addresses all areas of life to meet the new challenges of a radically shifting and secular modern world.Max Anders will help you and your church integrate the best of modern educational research to guide the most effective discipleship strategy possible. Using strong biblical principles, Brave New Discipleship,Explores the seven spiritual responsibilities, or 'marks,' of a Christian.Describes the three educational goals in a Christian's life that lead to spiritual growth.Explains and employs a set of knowledge, lifestyle, and ministry skill methods that impact the Christian's life and walk with Christ.Throughout, Anders explores Scripture and sheds light on what is negotiable and what is non-negotiable for modern ministry.Features include: Memory exercises to help the reader absorb a summary of what he or she has read.Understanding exercises to help the reader put into his own words what he or she has read, to be sure he grasps the truth.                Application exercises to allow the reader to apply the truth to his or her personal life.
