Key takeaways
The Lost Art of Following Jesus
Imagine a world where Christians actually resembled Jesus. Where faith wasn't about religious affiliation but about a transformed life. This disconnect haunted John Mark Comer until he made a revolutionary discovery: Jesus never invited people to convert to Christianity-he invited them to apprentice under him. This ancient understanding of discipleship offers a path forward for modern believers seeking authentic transformation. In a culture increasingly disillusioned with performative religion, Comer's invitation to practice Jesus' way speaks to both the spiritually curious and the religiously exhausted. The question isn't whether you believe in Jesus, but whether you're following him-and what that actually means in daily life.
