Unlearning the World’s Teaching, Pt. 2

In this teaching from the Men's Leadership Training Seminar, Pastor Jack continues exploring how Jesus discipled unlearned men by teaching them to relate truth to everyday life. He examines how Jesus balanced spiritual intensity with social involvement, taught His disciples about spiritual authority while grounding them in relationship with God, and created in them an identity based not on comparison or competition, but on who God made them to be. Pastor Jack challenges men to grow in discernment, learn balance in ministry, and engage in spiritual warfare through prayer and fasting.

Unlearning the World? Teaching, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack draws from episodes in the Gospels to address how Jesus "unlearned" His disciples? helping them discern between worldly patterns of thought and Kingdom thinking. He walks through several occasions where Jesus corrected the disciples' assumptions, teaching them that righteousness doesn't guarantee being right, that no group has it all, and that maturity never exempts us from accepting the immature. Pastor Jack calls the men to a deeper discipleship, urging them to cultivate attitudes shaped by Jesus rather than conventional wisdom.
