Ordinary Discipleship

How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation

By: Jessie Cruickshank

Narrated by: Jessie Cruickshank

God wired your brain for transformation.

Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples of every nation,” but a lot of us stop before we start―because we feel like we don’t have what it takes. But Jesus didn’t ask spiritual superstars to make disciples. He invited ordinary people into the adventure of following Him.

Jessie Cruickshank learned how to be a disciplemaker in the wilderness. When she connected her training in outdoor adventure ministry with her Harvard degree in neuroeducation, God showed her a pathway for ordinary disciples of Jesus to experience profound spiritual growth.

• You can help someone choose to go somewhere they have never gone before and to be brave enough to choose to change.
• You can model a new way of living.
• And you can share your own hard-fought wisdom on the journey of faith.

Jessie Cruickshank will help you navigate the terrain, be inspired by the vast sky, and move toward the hope to which you are called. With Joseph Campbell’s iconic hero’s journey framework as a guide, you’ll discover how a spirit of adventure, brain science, and passionate faith can equip you for the greatest adventure of all.

loved Jessie's reading of her own book

I might be a little bias, but I also listen to a LOT of audio books. Mostly Si-Fi but many other genres. As a first time narrator, Jessie did a wonderful job with tone, inflection and emotion. Her book is a fresh wind on the landscape of discipleship and disciple making.

An easy and important read

Jessie Cruickshank's Ordinary Discipleship is timely and needed for the Church. It breaks down a topic we have complicated into something relatable and easy to implement in our own lives. Jessie's outdoor experience is weaved throughout the book, and though I am not very outdoorsy, the stories were powerful and effective.

I enjoyed Jessie's reading of her own book. Her pace, influctuation, and tone kept me listening.

This book is great for pastors, leaders, and just the ordinary Joe. It would be great for a small group (with a church or just a group of friends).

Loved it!

Great book loved the overall message that Jessie brought to this topic it brings new insight of what it means to be a disciple and disciple others in an everyday context. I also love the fact that Jessie was able to narrate the book!

WOW and YES!

If you love God, His creation, and have a desire to answer the call to be a disciple, then this book is for you! If you love outdoor adventure or neuroscience, or ministry, then this book is for you. On point and read with a genuine passion, the author masterfully shares her knowledge and experience. You'll be inspired to take your hero's journey to another level before finishing this book. I'll be adding a physical copy of this book to my library because it's just that good!

This is the “HOW TO” when it comes to discipleship🔥

There are just too many “aha” moments. So I’ll just list some key ones. I’ve been doing discipleship poorly. Discipleship is purely relational. The classroom setting hinders discipleship.
I cannot encourage you enough to read this book, download the audio…in fact, I did both so that when I’m not able to read and I can listen, I use the audio version.
THIS IS A MUST. We started groups to teach this. And now this is a part of the vision of our church.
