Katrina Terpstra’s Reviews > Faith for Exiles: 5 Ways for a New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon > Status Update

This chapter went into the importance of vocational discipleship for this generation. We are very ambitious and want to skip “climbing the ladder.” I definitely agree with what the authors are saying and it is intel testing to see their take on what we should do.

This chapter talked about becoming a resilient disciple in an age of isolation (even though we have technology). It gave some good outlines of goals for what a good relationship looks like with the church and those in it. Forming meaningful relationships is very important and rare these days.

This chapter was about cultivating cultural discernment in a society riddled with anxiety and sin. I thought it gave really good examples of discernment from real exiles from the Bible and ways that resilient disciples today cultivate it. The book is written very well and the reader is really able to understand and relate to what is being presented.

This chapter was on how to cultivate a resilient identity in Jesus. There were many interesting I infographics from their research and good steps to take for Christians to grow in this identity focused on Jesus and not “me.” I love the way the book is written so that it is very applicable to your life.

This first chapter was an introduction to the research used to create the book. I found the data and graphs in the book very interesting, and I had fun comparing myself to the questions they would have asked the "test group" of people. I am excited to see the applications I can take from the book and put into practice.
