Discipleship in a 4D World: A 5 Session Bible Study



 Hi all, in the coming weeks I’ll be releasing a five-part Bible Study that I hope will crystalize all the 4D world stuff I’ve been writing about.

Where we’ll be going

              In these five sessions we’ll be looking at five piece of scripture that will function as lenses to see more clearly the challenges and opportunities of being a Christian living in the world as it is.

-In session one, I’ll give a broad overview of the 4 dynamics shaping our discipleship today, using the book of 1st Samuel as our lens for thinking about ministry contexts radically changing.

-In session two, we’ll peer at the book of Daniel and that will help us notice the dynamic of disestablishment in our present time.

-In session three, we’ll follow the struggles of tribal Israel in the era of Judges, in order to see our decentralized world more clearly.

-In session four, we’ll consider the Pentecost and its ramifications in the book of Acts, as a way to capture how demographic shifts in our society shape our life as church.

-In the final session, we’ll read through the book of Esther, in order to understand how disenchantment is the factor that more completely changes what it means to be a disciple today. I’ll also conclude with a broad summary of the 4Ds and the five sections of scripture we’ve engaged with.
