Joyful Obedience



Discover Joy

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:12

This foundational course on the missional lifestyle will help any Jesus-follower who is weighed down by obligation and duty discover and embrace the freedom and joy of obedience.

In order to receive the optimum result of this gallery, it is helpful to first understand the distinction between students and apprentices. 

Students can get by with learning information. Apprentices acquire skills by practicing behaviors. 

Living out our calling as Jesus-followers is like any other learned behavior, the new behavior sticks as we put it into practice repeatedly. Therefore, the apprentice participating in  this gallery will:

Watch the short video prompt.

Complete the exercises for each session

Participate in the general Discussion. Comment on existing questions, or post your own pertinent question.

Share your learning in each session's Collective. For example, here is the Collective for Session 1. We are given courage to learn new behaviors in community with others on the journey.

Engage with Jeff and others participating in the January Cohort on our regular Check-in Webinars.
                     

                 

One of the distinguishing marks of the Sardis Collective is the engagement between artisan (Jeff) and apprentice (you). Should you have any questions or coachable issues, Jeff is here to encourage and support you throughout the duration of this cohort.
