Live A Deeper,

Fuller Life.

 

EXPERIENCE REALITY WITH JESUS

I WILL (RE)MAKE YOU — JESUS

When I read Follow I said to myself, ‘This is the book I want the people in my church to read and study.’ It is a brilliant plan for apprenticeship to Jesus. I give it my highest recommendation.

— JAMES BRYAN SMITH

Author of The Good and Beautiful God

Life can feel fragmented.

We long for fullness, yet faith so often feels like lifeless knowledge. When and how can our knowledge impact our thoughts, words, and actions? We find ourselves feeling isolated in church community. We distract ourselves and disengage from here and now.

Most of what we call discipleship in the Modern Western church is merely teaching techniques for adapting a Christian worldview. It modifies the way we think about our contexts. Formational discipleship in the way of Jesus leads us as whole persons (heart, mind, body, relationships, soul) to be in the world with God and with each other. We become the kind of people who think, feel, speak, and act in the way of Jesus. It changes everything.

Follow exists to help you experience the reality of the good life according to Jesus.

Follow invites you to live a deeper, fuller life with God and with others through formational discipleship to Jesus. Follow exists to help you experience what Jesus describes as the good (or blessed) life.

The Good Life is the kind of life that resonates within and overflows towards those you love, lead, and your wider community. This is the life that participates in a bigger story – God’s Story. This is more than short-term change of behaviour but long-term change of character.

Follow invites you to experience this change as you learn all of life from Jesus. Walking the path that is simply the best way to live. Our books, resources, and course aim to realign your life from the ground up – reorienting your life to the Kingdom of God.

Graeme Anderson showcases the beauty and attractiveness of Jesus’ invitation to live a with-God life. The sermon on the mount is no longer a set of ‘shoulds’, but a description of a life available to me here and now. Dive in!

Follow — Experiencing Life With Jesus

Follow — Experiencing Life With Jesus is an eight part experience of life with Jesus with a foundation on the Sermon on the Mount. Each part explores Jesus’ words from Matthew 5-7, provides space for deeper reflection, and habits that enable you to create space for the grace of God. This grace empowers and shapes you throughout the day-by-dayness of life. Follow invites you to be confident that Jesus has the best things to say about the most important things in life.

Follow is as concerned with un-learning as it is with learning … Follow is an inspiring examination of the way of Jesus, beautifully written, challenging, and comforting.

The Foundations of Follow (Course excerpt)

REFLECT

Follow Journal

The Follow Journal is a resource designed to both help you observe how God is acting in and through your life, and to grow in your experience of opening yourself before Scripture (you will change, Scripture will stay the same). If you are committed to the rhythm of formational discipleship, this is for you.

 

TESTIMONIALS

We love to see people experience Jesus.

Geoff

EDUCATOR

“Undertaking the Follow course gave me a fresh opportunity to evaluate my journey with Jesus. I was challenged to give up my false programs for happiness and to trade them in for the real life that Jesus offers to each one of us – a life where striving ceases and simple obedience begins.”

Chloe

MUSICIAN

“The Follow course and book is like a pivot, a fork in the road, tipping the scales, calming the seas, slowly tipping me back towards Him. Back towards His goodness, back towards His truth and back towards His beauty. It was like resurfacing after holding my breath under water for a long time. I left the course feeling lighter, refreshed and excited about living intimately with my creator once again.”

Eliza

ADVOCACY

“The Follow course helped me to fall in love with Jesus all over again. Moved by His gentleness, stirred by His mission, and floored by His grace, I finished Follow in a place where I could genuinely believe – and boldly declare – that a life following Jesus is the best life possible.”

Louise

SPEECH PATHOLOGIST

“The Follow course has transformed the way I approach being a follower of Jesus. I’m focused on him and how he is working in my life even in the small things. I have also allowed Jesus to help me make positive changes in my day to day thinking and behaviour.”

 

for churches

Overflow

If you find your community is just going through the motions (and becoming more and more distracted with attendance, buildings, and cash), or if your community is enthralled only with the spectacle and you feel the pressure to provide, moving to a formational church model may well be for you. Formational churches focus primarily on how God’s Story (which we are in), shapes what we believe (what we are confident about), which then shapes our behaviour and relationships in the world. (Other church models tend to do this back-to-front, leaving people tired, confused, and disillusioned).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Could churches in the Modern West be communities centred around discipleship — learning life from Jesus — and be places of long-lasting change for good?

Graeme Anderson

Graeme Anderson

This was the question Graeme initially began exploring through Masters research and teaching in various denominations. He began a three-year focus studying the Gospel of John. The words of CS Lewis then came alive, “I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer, you are yourself the answer. Before your face all questions fade away”. Through the Renovarè Institute, Graeme learnt under Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, Jan Johnson, and James Bryan Smith. Learning from people whose life overflowed with the presence of Jesus was a deeply formative experience.

This has led to the Follow Course and the Follow book.

Graeme is married to Jen and they have three young children. He is an ordained Baptist pastor in Sydney, Australia. Previously he has enjoyed 10 years in the classroom as a primary teacher as well as a few years working professionally as a classical singer.
