Cleaning Your Nets
Jesus comes to that place where people like you and I come face-to-face with the limits of our humanity. It’s that place where we want to give up, give in, submit, surrender, and throw in the towel.
When Jesus comes to this place, he does not offer us a challenge to change, a rah-rah pep-talk, or encouragement to persevere.
Rather, Jesus offers us himself as the source for life, purpose, joy, and ministry.

Everyone’s idea of discipleship is different. Some people emphasize evangelism—sharing their faith. Still others promote a hierarchical system for spiritual growth, a way for older Christians to pass on best practices to younger believers. Yet, both ideas are incomplete. Real discipleship is so much more.
Avoiding extremes and evaluating motives, Jonathan Dodson insists on a way of following Jesus that re-centers discipleship on the gospel.
This book helps us understand and experience the fullness of discipleship as God intended. It combines the mess and the weight, the imperfection and transformation, the honesty and wonder of being a disciple who revolves around Jesus. Here is a practical guide to discipleship that is Spirit-filled, Christ-centered, field-tested, and easily implemented.
