I’m not sure why but I grew up with the idea that one’s personal faith is a private thing, not to be broadcast in a public setting. The only people who has the right or the privilege to share in public were pastors and priests. Internally I questioned that idea, but I never heard anything to counter that framework until college. Today, the public has been polluted with a variety of ‘Christian talk’ in the public forum, often to manipulate the audience to one view or another. Rarely are we encouraged to disciple another person in the way of Jesus, to practice the presence of the Soirit in our everyday life.
“…discipleship is a lifestyle far more than it is an event, and it is a posture from which we can engage with the world in a healthy and fruitful way.” - Bobby William Harrington, Discipleship that Fits
