677 Apprenticeship, Not Just Belief

from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer

Tuesday, January 6th:Belief is essential—but belief alone was never meant to carry the full weight of discipleship. In this episode of The Daily Grind, we explore why Jesus consistently invited people into apprenticeship, not just agreement. Jesus didn’t simply ask people to believe true things about him; he taught them how to live with God in everyday life. Drawing from The Divine Conspiracy and The Great Omission, this episode examines how faith becomes fragile when it remains theoretical and how it gains strength when practiced. Apprenticeship invites us to trust Jesus enough to try his way of living. Discipleship is not about perfection, but direction—learning, practicing, and growing over time. The question isn’t just what we believe, but who we are apprenticing under. Belief opens the door, but apprenticeship is where belief becomes life.Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus DRAY‑koh DOR‑mee‑enz NOON‑kwahm tih‑tih‑LAN‑doos means Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
