We’ve found teaching people how to think like a disciple of Jesus is essential in having a healthy church that makes disciples. In a challenging thought Bill Hull in his book The Complete Book of Discipleship says,

Being a Christian isn’t just about believing in Jesus, but believing what Jesus believed. Thinking and feeling what Jesus does is transformative.

So we created some questions that will help you think Jesus. These are devotional questions to be answered slowly, prayerful and thoughtfully. The intention is that the enquirer will experience a renewing of their mind as they discover a new pattern for thinking.
