The word discipline has always had a guilt feeling associated with it. But the word training seems more inspiring even though they may have the same practice. I’ve experienced passive training in godliness by hanging out with safe people, avoiding risky temptations and following the rules. But actively training my mind, emotions and body to be all in for Jesus takes effort and time. Daily connecting with you, Caleb, reading the application to Scripture, praying for daily needs, for you, my family, and writing a reflection are all part of the training. I want to get better at verbalizing the gospel through engaging conversations, not letting the time with others go by passively.
