In every human, there is a gap between who we are and who we want to be. We long to love and be loved. We have a desire to make a difference. We need someone to help us close those gaps. Jesus made a promise in John 10:10. He said He came that every person could have life and live it to the fullest. That promise wasn't for a select few but for anyone who wants it. This is your invitation to live Fully Alive!
If you want to learn to live in such a way that it affects those around you, start your journey with our ebook, Fully Alive.

Imagine if worship didn’t just happen on Sundays. Instead, it flowed seamlessly into your entire week, from morning routines to daily interactions. This concept of worship as a lifestyle was at the heart of our recent conversation, Discipleship as Worship, where we explored how discipleship goes hand-in-hand with worship, transforming our everyday moments into meaningful acts of devotion.
My Dad was a devoted reader, reading “for awhile” every night before bed. That habit led to the outcome of his being well-read. Recently, I’ve intentionally emulated that, connecting with that piece of his legacy. But a recent challenge from a friend sparked a thought: What if, in my quest to be a “devoted reader” like my Dad, I “devoted” more of that reading to spiritual pursuits?
Bible studies are meaningful, but Mission trips are life changing.
Bible studies engage the mind, helping you understand the bible. Mission trips engage the whole self... head, hands, and heart. Mission trips help you see the bible, and life, in a life-altering way.
Fully Alive is more like a mission trip than a Bible study because it is an invitation to engage in the biblical story... not just study it.
Apprentices are people you choose to mentor. The best apprentices desire to grow, demonstrate initiative, and make sacrifices to gain wisdom from a good mentor.
Experienced mentors know a powerful truth… the benefits of routinely developing apprentices far outweigh the investments. Every follower of Jesus can live more Fully Alive as they identify, develop, and release apprentices throughout their life.
How Do I Find the Best Peers To Walk With Me?
Peers share a similar phase of spiritual development as you. They have similar hopes and ambitions as well as similar challenges and limitations. Peers are not in front of you or behind you, but stand side by side with you in your pursuit of Jesus…
Mentors are seasoned in their walk with Jesus, filled with wisdom on how to live Fully Alive, and able and willing to share that wisdom with others. Finding a great mentor is challenging, as many mentor and apprentice relationships are initiated by the mentor… not the apprentice. This is certainly true in the biblical examples. Paul chose Timothy. Jethro offered unsolicited advice to Moses. Elijah chose an unsuspecting Elisha to be his successor as prophet. Even Jesus, the ultimate mentor, selected His disciples to their great surprise.
Jesus came so you could live Fully Alive.
Since the secret to living Fully Alive is to actually die to your own desires and inclinations, which seems “upside-down” and contrary to what most of us want out of life, then we must admit from the outset that WE. NEED. HELP!
“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” —Jesus (John 10:10)
I am not easily intimidated. I like a good challenge. I love jumping headlong into opportunities and running full steam at them.
Here, I suggest a third question to guide your answers to the first two: Will you allow your longings for intimacy and influence to drive you to Jesus, now and for the rest of your life?
The question I invite you to consider in this blog is, “Were your longings for intimacy and influence so powerful that they caused you to try and fulfill them in ways that caused more pain than joy?”
Two questions started haunting me in my middle school years. I couldn’t put words to them at the time, but in those tender years of emotional and physical development, these two questions influenced my feelings and behavior more than anything else.
Bakers measure ingredients to make tasty cookies. Business executives measure key performance indicators to stay profitable. Sports teams measure points to make games exciting for their fans. Construction workers measure materials twice to ensure a good cut.
Your greatest impact will not be a result of your effort and hard work. Your greatest impact will flow from the work Jesus is doing in and through you. Put succinctly, Impact flows from Identity.
An arch is reliably strong because its apex equally distributes weight to two bases, which form a single, continuous structure. As weight compresses down from above the arch, the foundational bases absorb weight equally.
My neighbor waters his plants every day. He pulls weeds as they pop up. He follows the guidance of the local experts for what, where and when to plant in our area. His garden is beautiful!
How do you feel about your life? Do you feel driven by a purpose or are you just floating along, going through your day-to-day activities and tasks?
In a recent poll by the American Psychiatric Association, over 70% of U.S. adults reported being anxious about keeping safe, inflation, and a potential recession.
A few weeks ago, I was at a dinner party and sitting next to a former business owner. She asked what I did for a living. After I told her, she pointedly asked, “You don’t preach to people do you?”
Jason Phelps is a disciple-maker at heart, and our Followers Made Cohort proved to be a solution he was looking for to make and multiply disciples to grow in their character and calling. We asked Jason several questions about his first experience leading Followers Made, and his answers are inspiring. Enjoy!
I wish someone would have told me that a red-hot pursuit of Jesus would not always feel so red-hot. I also wish someone would have told me that the “not-so-red-hot moments” could be an invitation to experience new spiritual heights.
Are you asking, “How do I share Jesus' Fully Alive life with others?” "How can this become as natural a part of my life as breathing?"
Spiritual development requires honest and helpful accountability. Most of us, however, have difficulty developing this vulnerable spiritual habit.
Most followers of Jesus struggle to develop & maintain the habit of Bible reading and journaling. Unfortunately, when the Bible reading and journaling decline, so goes the ability to sense God’s presence and guidance.
Since Jesus’ priority petition for our prayer lives is “on earth as it is in heaven,” shouldn’t our disciple-making efforts…
