Real Discipleship: How to Follow Jesus His Way, Not Ours (Fr. Jeffrey Kirby) - 3/10/25

3/10/25 - Discipleship: isn't that a Protestant thing? The concept of Christian discipleship gets stressed so much in Evangelical culture that many Catholics assume that - like "altar calls" or the "Rapture" - it's not their concern. Or maybe you're more familiar with a form of "discipleship" that stresses personal fulfillment, moral and doctrinal flexibility, and an individualist gospel that measures success by worldly standards. This idea has roots in Protestant "health & wealth" preaching, but you can find it in Catholic churches, too. Both of those notions are dead wrong, says Fr. Jeffrey Kirby. In Real Discipleship, Fr. Kirby says that discipleship should be the central concern of every Catholic, and that far from being all about us and our earthly needs, true discipleship is about following Jesus diligently on the path to the Cross. A lively mix of personal stories, theology, history, Bible study, common sense, and prayerful meditation, the book will be a valuable companion on your own journey along Christ's path - all the way to Calvary and to eternal glory.
