155: Learning Christ with Col Marshall

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and processes of being a disciple of Jesus Christ with Col Marshall.

Christian living is being a daily disciple of Jesus Christ, and being a disciple is being a learner—an apprentice of Christ. It’s to learn to be like him, to live like him, to think like him, to love others like him. But being a learner or an apprentice of Jesus Christ is no simple thing; it’s rich, multi-faceted and extraordinary. It’s a lifelong process. Of course, it’s also a struggle: there are many obstacles, and many of us get stuck or stalled in our apprenticeship to Jesus Christ, especially after being a Christian for a while. What would it mean to re-ignite your enthusiasm for learning Jesus Christ? Tony Payne discusses this question with Col Marshall in relation to Col’s latest book on the subject, Warriors of the Word .
