A Humble Influence

Dr. J.K. Jones is the dean of Christian Ministry at Lincoln Christian College

I have been truly influenced in the past 2 years by this guy. Dr. Jones is the type of person who you want to emulate, not because of what he claims, but because of what he does not claim. The picture will link you to an episode of a new podcast series that Lincoln Christian is doing--I take some divergent views on some of his comments, mostly because I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything that might verge on total individualization of the Gospel, spiritual formation, etc. but I love the discussion he brings to the table on the "dead guys." Worth a listen.

The question/challenge I would like to hash out here is: what is the role of spiritual disciplines (defined here as practices which shape both mentality and habits in the mold of Christ) in the "irresistible revolution" that is taking place today? How can the "dead guys" be of an influence, comfort, instruction, guide, and challenge to contemporary Jesus-pilgrims?

Love to hear from you.

Today's meditation: Lord, you have given me everything I will ever need.
