What Middle School Boys Taught Me About Discipleship

We’re all being discipled by someone else—probably multiple somebodies. Those disciplers either push us closer to the Way, the Truth, and the Life or pull us farther from the Source of All Love. We’re either getting softer or harder, kinder or more critical, more or less forgiving. And the voices we let speak over us prove a critical factor of our spiritual trajectory. So, if we’re not becoming more humble, patient, gracious and compassionate, it’s wise to ask whether the voices in our lives have those qualities.

At the end of my life, I’d rather be known for what I did in a prayer circle, in a reflective vest, in a counseling conversation, or with a text message than anything I commercially wrote or designed at my desk.

When someone else writes my obituary, I hope they can honestly write, “He pursued spiritual and physical adventure in such a way that others were drawn to do the same.”
