Theology On Mission #20: Seeing Another Story

What is the core of discipleship?

Does information + action = discipleship?
Is there something missing from this equation?

Fitch and Holsclaw discuss the important aspect of “seeing yourself in another story” in the process of discipleship. Only in the conversion of our imagination, immersed in a different story and seeing the world and ourselves differently, can we truly begin to follow Jesus.
