“Ongoing apprenticeship is crucial because it forms a relational connection between Jesus and us, His followers. Whatever language you choose, apprenticeship/discipleship is picture of the same process. It’s less “knowing about,” and more “knowing for yourself.” The experience engages our whole hearts the process of relating and refining in love.”

“The alternative to apprenticeship is life under self-imposed religious legalism. It sounds like, “I don’t really want to know the Master, just tell me what to do.” That was sad story of the Pharisees who thought it would be better to crucify Jesus than allow challenge to their legalism.”

“If we divide the second, every fraction becomes the past faster than the speed of thought and every fraction of every fraction. We would need to step down to the Zero Point of time to measure the present; we would need to divide the smallest number by the infinite number of numbers and look for the past in the infinity of the second. The whole matter is smaller than the numberless “number” of infinity. Infinity is endless.”

“It is outrageously foolish to dismiss relationships as “fluff” or “nice things to have.” God designed relationships to provide the central organizing experiences and the primary vehicle by which we learn to experience and respond to all of life.”

The first couple exploited the things God intended to be used for pleasure (trees, leaves, the garden and each other) and used them to hide, cover shame, and then blamed others for the problem. Things haven’t changed much in many thousands of years!”

“Attachment is the central organizing principle of the brain. We’re born with billions of neurons in our developing brain – and connections with other people guide the trillions of connections of interactions between those neurons. Grace-based, joyful attachments with others optimize these connections.”
