What does it mean to become an apprentice of Jesus—not just as an individual, but as part of a community shaped by the kingdom of God?

 

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling is joined by friend and colleague Matt Fogle for a thoughtful conversation with Keas Keasler about his new IVP Academic book, Kingdom Apprenticeship: Dallas Willard’s Formational Theology and Missional Vision.

 

Together they explore Dallas Willard’s understanding of spiritual formation, grace as both pardon and power, the church as a community of discipleship, and what it means for ordinary Christians and ministry leaders to become people who increasingly reflect the life of Christ. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or simply longing for deeper transformation, this conversation offers a hopeful vision for becoming apprentices of Jesus in every area of life.

 

In this episode you’ll discover:
Why spiritual formation is about more than gaining knowledge
Dallas Willard’s vision for grace, discipleship, and transformation
How the church becomes a “school of life” where people learn to live in God’s kingdom
Why formation is both deeply personal and profoundly communal
Practical encouragement for pastors and ministry leaders seeking lasting spiritual growth
