Deep Discipleship: How the Church Can Make Whole Disciples of Jesus

This was a Christmas present from my sister and her husband; my favorite Christmas gift this year!

I’m enjoying J.T. English’s take on the importance of deep discipleship. He laments the recent decades of over-emphasis on small group community in western churches, to the exclusion of rigorous, serious study of God’s word.

I agree with him: both community (small groups) and rigorous study of God’s word are necessary for disciples of Jesus Christ to grow.

Podcast I'm Listening To

Believe it or not, I didn’t listen to any notable podcasts this week.

I enjoyed taking a break from so much content and spent more time with family!

On Bitcoin

I enjoyed reading through Nic Carter’s recent short story Trillion Dollar Salvage about Bitcoin in a world where cryptography breaks down.

I’m not nervous about Bitcoin adjusting to quantum computing. I believe the incentives of the network are sufficient to ensure participants prepare adequately for the inevitable “Q-Day.”

Creative writing like this is healthy – it engages the minds of readers and gets them to think about how a surprise like this could happen.
