Theme 04 · Discipleship
Untamed
Reactivating a missional form of discipleship
Recover disciple-making as whole-life apprenticeship to Jesus — and dismantle the domesticated version your structures are teaching.
By the end you will
The full course walked with a trained facilitator and a small group on a shared weekly rhythm, by application.
How the weeks work
Four necessities, every week
Every week runs the same loop. In cohort mode the fourth necessity is live: a facilitated gathering where what you tried gets named out loud, including what failed.
Dissonance
The week opens with a teaching and a question that is deliberately not resolved for you.
Reflection
A private guided conversation that holds the tension and surfaces what you actually believe.
Practice
One embodied step, small enough to happen this week, specific enough to be asked about.
Community
A live gathering with your facilitator and group, plus a board that stays open between weeks.
The arc
8 weeks, one movement
We have made following Jesus safe, and in doing so made it small.

Where it comes from
Untamed (2010, with Debra Hirsch) · The Faith of Leap
Every reading, case and prompt in this course is drawn from the published corpus. Nothing here is invented for the format — the course is the book taught the way it was meant to be learned: in practice, with others.
