Yet, like many, I was weaned on a linear, step-by-step discipleship model. I attended a new believers’ class designed to teach the basics of theology and how to develop a personal walk with God.(Apparently, every new Christian needed a good grasp of the Trinity, the inspiration of Scripture, the basics of the atonement, the sovereignty of God, and a few other things I can’t remember.) And oh yeah, we also needed to learn how to share our faith and get started with a personal quiet time. Though it had almost nothing to do with the stuff new Christians actually struggle with—casting aside sinful habits and cleaning up our act—we were provided with a classy binder to put our notes in.
