“Ordinary Radicals: A Return to Christ-Centered Discipleship” unfolds, with honest open-heart questions, how we think about the gospel in our lives. The gospel you believe, determines the disciple you make. Radical discipleship is about nothing more and nothing less than laying bare the roots of the gospel.
