If someone who had been working out for more than a year and was fit and trim asked you to go on a walk with them, wouldn’t you want to ensure you are in shape before you made the walk. Wouldn’t you want ensure you were ready for that walk both in terms of your body and commitment.
When beginning the walk on the Journey with Jesus, you must also make certain you are ready and constantly “staying in shape.” This section on Development does not provide all the answers to what you must do, but does provide a framework for you to better understand your responsibility in that effort.
