Show notesn this episode of Words of Wisdom, the focus is on guiding principles of discipleship, as presented by Josh. The key points discussed include the relational nature of discipleship, which requires intentional time, patience, and love. Six guiding principles are outlined: 1) Pursue presence by maintaining a close connection with God, 2) Joyfully surrender to God's will, 3) Intentionally reflect through deep thought and community learning, 4) Embodied worship by honoring God with our physical bodies and actions, 5) Courageously connect by fostering deep, trusting relationships, and 6) Generously serve others with selflessness and humility. Questions for reflection and journaling are also suggested to deepen one's spiritual journey and discipleship practice.00:00 Introduction to Discipleship00:21 Understanding Discipleship00:43 Guiding Principles Overview01:00 Principle 1: Pursue Presence01:55 Principle 2: Joyfully Surrender02:26 Principle 3: Intentionally Reflect03:13 Principle 4: Embodied Worship04:28 Principle 5: Courageously Connect05:36 Principle 6: Generously Serve06:15 Inspirational Quotes06:58 Reflective Questions07:37 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsAbout Josh Kalsbeek, LMFT• As a Psychoherapist Josh helps people overcome their greatest struggles.•Founder and CEO of Great Oaks Collective, and it's flagship program Overcome, a 10-Week virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for Christian couples experiencing sexual betrayal and addiction. www.greatoakscollective.com. • Sign up to receive Josh's weekly email newsletter, Words of Wisdom. ​---LinksRead the podcast at wisecraft.orgHenri Nouwen, Finding My Way Home​Jon Tyson, A Creative Minority​---Support this podcast by buying a book through one of the links above.Support the podcast
