The first Christians called themselves ‘People of the Way’. But what does ‘The Way’ look like today? What does discipleship look like? How do I disciple someone?
This training naked guide is designed to help us live this way of Jesus that will bring the kingdom inside us so that it can flow out of us. So that we can return to our humanness, to whom we were created to be.
#trainnaked?
Paul uses the term in 1 Timothy , gymnasto, a term to describe training in a gymnasium. The ancient Greeks trained naked and competed naked in atheletics. Paul uses this term to describe how we should be when we train, to train naked before God. When we do the practices, we go to God with no pretense, no masks, just as we are. Naked. It will hopefully help us to change our hearts, to redirect them so we can change the hearts of others. So that we can become Lovers of God and people.
We breathe in the Spirit of God, inspiration, and breathe out in flesh Jesus to the world, incarnation.
To do life together.
To love one another.
To build a new culture within the shell of the old.
To bind the wounds of the other just like Jesus bound ours.
To live the message of the cross.
To live a resurrected life.
To live a life blown around by the Spirit.
To join God in the adventure of restoring.
To live the WAY in the middle of this world.
It is:
Ordinary
We encourage a ‘melk en brood’ spirituality. It is something that's familiar, which happens every single day, like going to buy milk and bread. It’s physical, human and connected.
Based on friendship
That our experience of God is tied to our experience of others.
Rhythmic
Over the years we have come to discover the benefits of engaging in a rhythmic and cyclical spirituality. We follow the liturgical year, travelling each year through the life of Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. And so in this rhythm we see the daily need for our own death and resurrection.
Training
Within each season of the liturgical year we practice prescribed daily spiritual disciplines and training practices to help us draw close to God so we can go through death to life and have his broken image restored in us. Download the Train Naked Bible Study guide to get you going
