Isolation is paralyzing for MBBs

Today on the Pod, we talk about the messy realities of discipleship. When someone comes to faith on the field, we often think it’s all going to be up and to the right from now on. But in reality, the messiness begins the moment that person places his faith in Jesus. The whole episode today is about discipleship, and I think you’re really going to like it.

"I think what is very problematic and very impairing is when a believer lives in two different worlds. In secret, he’s a believer, and he has fellowship with other believers, but out in the open, he has to play the role of not being a believer or being labeled an atheist be he doesn’t go to the mosque or pray."
