SCHOOL OF KINGDOM LIVING APPLICATIONS DUE!

School of Kingdom Living

Deadline to apply to Dallas Willard Ministries’ School of Kingdom Living is October 15th. This is our first cohort in an 18-month immersion in discipleship as “putting on the character of Christ,” with special focus on Dallas Willard’s teaching on how we can live in the strong and unshakable Kingdom of God in our everyday lives. Keith Matthews and I are committed to giving equal time each day to: teaching, practice, community processing and worship. We want to go deep, allowing participants to live into the reality of God here and now.  Apply here.

Can't wait to meet you--if I don't already know you!


Featured Talk:

Key Ideas We Can Learn from the Life & Writing of Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard’s ideas have and are being used by Jesus to reframe discipleship in ways that have dramatically changed my life and many others. Let’s explore how he interacted with people and those intriguing ideas: How would Jesus live my life  if he were me?; the inner life of the soul is what we aim to transform; when we pray, we enter another world; consumer Christianity; contempt withers the soul; trying, not training;  training for reigning!

Why this talk? 

Increasingly I'm being asked to describe Dallas's ideas either to introduce people to his writing or to clarify his major themes. As the author of Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice, Hearing God through the Year, Dallas Willard’s Study Guide to the Divine Conspiracy, and numerous short study guides to his HarperOne books, this is something I've been doing all along!  So now I'm having fun putting the thoughts all into one piece (but I could do multiple talks if you desire that!).  This flows out of my passion for these ideas as well a calling as the chair of Dallas Willard Ministries.
