Jess Bousa

There were a lot of different things that interested me about Jess Bousa. It was interesting to me that at such a young age he has written a book on discipleship, and because I have not read the book I can not comment on it or its content, but I just wonder what experiences or influences he is pulling on to understand such a deep topic. He made a lot of Good points, but like I said I wonder if his lack of experience has affected his attempts at all, or if he has found any hindrances in publishing his book or writing it because of his earliness in ministry.

There was one thing that he said which really caught me though. He said essentially the simpler something is the easier it is to replicate it. In other words it could be said that just because something is needed or a good idea doesn’t mean that we need to complicate it. We need to make something that is easy to replicate, and so if we want to disciple people and get them to that point of being a holistic Christian we need to make sure that they are capable of doing all of this, but in order to do that we need to make sure that we aren’t complicating it past their abilities.

Christ wasn’t complicated when it came to his teachings he wasn’t complicated in how he discipled. Christ poured his life into twelve others, and that is what we need to make sure that we are doing.
