Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus.

After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan.

glory in suffering...Romans 5: 3-4

following today
Read the beautiful and familiar Twenty-Third Psalm.  It's only six verses, so read it slowly, more than once, maybe even out loud.  As you do, make two distinct lists:  In one column, list the verbs that indicate what you do (the word walk will come up, for example). In the second column, list the things that God does.  Thank him for his faithful goodness, comfort, and mercy.
