Mike Yaconelli composes his thoughts and passions regarding the nine core realities of youth ministry: veracity (youth ministry must expose students to the life-giving truth of Jesus Christ), authenticity (authentic youth workers will draw young people to Jesus Christ), audacity (youth ministry must push students, parents, and the church outside their comfort zones), sanctuary (youth ministry must provide a safe place for students), diversity (youth ministry must challenge young people to embrace diversity), humility (youth ministry should be clothed in humility), intimacy (our relationship with Jesus is our youth ministry), mystery (youth ministry must foster mystery, rediscover astonishment, and leave room for unanswered questions), and creativity (youth ministry must free students and youth workers to discover and express their God-given creativity). As an added resource, each member of the CORE™ seminar team, including authors and speakers such as Laurie Polich, Efrem Smith, Marv Penner, Duffy Robbins, contributes sidebars throughout the book responding to Mike’s thoughts.

When you hear the word disciple, you may envision people who spend all day praying and converting the masses. Or individuals who have a natural holiness deep inside. The truth is, being a follower of Jesus isn’t a job for the perfect or the Christian elite—it’s something anyone can and should be. (And even the original twelve disciples were far from perfect!) This thirty-day devotional looks at the traits real, very humandisciples have, using Scripture, first-person comments from teens, and questions that help you think about your own disciple experiences.When you think of Peter, John, Matthew, and even Paul, they seem to be heroes for Jesus—the ones we’re supposed to emulate and be more like. After all, Jesus handpicked them to be his followers and ambassadors on earth, and trusted them with everything when he left, so they must have been really holy men, right?But if you read the Gospels and Acts closely, you’ll notice the men Jesus called into his ministry were often clueless, selfish, afraid, and brash, and made a lot of mistakes during their time as disciples. In other words, they were very human. Just like you. This 30-day devotional peels back the holy veneer and explores the character traits that mark all disciples—things like fear, boldness, doubt, laziness, weakness, sensitivity, brokenness, alienation, hunger, immaturity, strength, and preparedness—and uses Scripture, real-world examples, and questions with space to journal to help you see these “negative” qualities actually qualify you to follow Jesus. Because discipleship isn’t something from the first century, and Jesus is calling you to follow him today.Devotion:can be used for personal study or in a group settingis ideal for teens and young adultscontains short readings, with full Scripture passages included, that you can take with you anywherebreaks down the real truth behind Scripture to show how it applies to your life today

Scripture is full of the voices of prophets who convicted, irritated, edified, exhorted, chastised, instructed, encouraged, and proclaimed the Truth. Many followed these prophets; many hated them; some dismissed them; others laughed at them; still others wanted them silenced. The same could be said of Mike Yaconelli. Like the prophets of old, Mike was a blend of the sacred and the profane, the outspoken and the insecure, the gentle lamb and the roaring lion. This paradox lives on in his writing and in his recorded words. In Mike Yaconelli you’ll discover a bold, passionate, and ultimately prophetic voice reminding us to stay focused on Jesus, to hold life lightly, to walk together as we love kids, and to devote ourselves to an outrageously gracious God who loves our souls into being. If you’re in youth ministry today, it’s likely that—someway, somehow—Mike Yaconelli played a part in it. Much of the playfulness, creativity, and humility that exist in youth ministry were first nurtured by the life and work of Mike Yaconelli. Reactions to Mike Yaconelli are rarely neutral. He forces you to react, to feel, to think and to question: He loved youth ministry, but at the same time he wanted to dismantle it; he pastored a church yet proclaimed churches to be dull and stifling. He poked fun at powerful Christian celebrities but was disarmingly open about his own pride and weaknesses. Despite founding one of the largest youth working organizations in the world, Mike advocated for a counter-cultural faith that emphasized small over big, few over many, and silent over loud. His words carry all of these contradictions, leaving readers both inspired and frustrated...often at the same time. Years after his death, Christians across the globe still turn to the words of Mike Yaconelli to uncover the divine mischief, the shameless truth-telling, the love of kids, and the passion for Jesus that make youth ministry the irresistible calling he claimed it to be. People turn to Mike Yaconelli not just because of what he wrote, they turn to Mike Yaconelli because of what he aspired to live.

Debe ser que yo no soy un cristiano muy bueno…¿Sientes algo de esto?:No oro lo suficiente Leo muy poco la Biblia No comparto mi fe lo suficiente No amo a Dios lo suficiente No estoy suficientemente comprometido No soy suficientemente espiritual Entonces este libro es para ti. Espiritualidad sin hipocresía es un libro escrito para la mayoría silenciosa de nosotros que hemos estado convencidos de que sencillamente, no llevamos nuestro cristianismo como deberíamos. Nos pasamos la mayor parte de la vida preocupados por lo que no hacemos, en lugar de interesarnos en lo que sí hemos hecho; enfocados en nuestras imperfecciones, en lugar de enfocarnos en la debilidad que siente Dios por los imperfectos. ¿Por qué? Porque nos han estado bombardeando con libros, grabaciones, charlas, seminarios y películas para convencernos de que el verdadero cristianismo tiene que ver con la perfección.Michael Yaconelli se atreve a sugerir que la imperfección, las limitaciones y los desastres son, en realidad, las características del verdadero cristianismo; que el cristianismo genuino es desastroso, errático, desequilibrado… y gloriosamente liberador. ¿Qué tal si la fe genuina comenzara por admitir que nunca llegaremos a ser personas totalmente eficientes y bien organizadas? Tal vez los discípulos desastrosos sean precisamente la clase de gente imperfecta por la cual Jesús vino a la tierra, y de cuya compañía disfrutaba de verdad… y sigue disfrutando. Si quieres hallar hoy a Jesús, búscalo en medio de los creyentes exhaustos, los desajustados morales, los religiosamente incompetentes… hombres y mujeres cuya vida es… bueno, un desastre. Espiritualidad sin hipocresía es un fuerte antídoto para el perfeccionismo espiritual que llevamos todos dentro. Contiene unas verdades que te pueden liberar de la tiranía de lo que deberías estar haciendo, y abrirte los ojos para que veas la profunda espiritualidad que hay en recibir, con nuestras limitaciones y todo, el amor del Dios que acude a tu encuentro en medio de una vida desastrosa e impredecible.
