Whole Life Young Disciples

If discipling is nurturing towards maturity, whole-life discipling acknowledges that there is no area of life - be it work, rest or play - that God cannot use to help nurture us towards a greater understanding of him, lived out in the world.

Whole life discipling is about joining the dots: helping young people see that there is no division between life inside and outside of 'Church' - between the sacred and the secular, the things of the 'spirit' and the things of the 'flesh.' A God who tasked us with taking care of a world filled with rich abundance and diversity expects us to use all the means at our disposal to fulfil that role. So he's is as interested in the way our young people fill shelves at the local supermarket as he is in their latest attempts at poetry, writing worship songs or choosing a career.

Whole-life discipling is also about helping young people connect deeply with the Bible so that their outlook on life is informed by a passionate understanding of God's grand narrative. They can thenunderstand their place in God's story so they can make sense of their role in the world they find themselves in. We also help them navigate the tricky waters of the clash of cultures - the challenges of living for God in a society that tells a story of either deep apathy or cynicism towards those of a faith perspective.

You'll find here articles that connect faith with contemporary culture - be it film, media, education or the world of work - and explore issues of worldview and contemporary apologetics.
