What This Project Is, and Is Not
Let’s be clear: this is not a typical Bible study. No fill-in-the-blanks. No shallow devotionals. No pre-packaged conclusions.

This is a guided expedition, through Scripture, led by the Spirit, grounded in reasoned faith.

You’ll be shown what God says, and invited to wrestle with what it means. You’ll be challenged to examine what you’ve inherited, assumed, or ignored.

This isn’t about Bible trivia.It’s about transformation.

How It’s Structured
DiscipleLife unfolds in chapters, each centered on a key theme of discipleship. Each chapter includes 4 or more essays, building step by step.

Every essay starts with a guiding question, explores a biblical response, and ends with a new question that leads to the next.

Why Does DiscipleLife Exist?
DiscipleLife exists because of [Agapē].

Before we talk about purpose, truth, worldview, discipleship, or anything else, we have to ask a deeper question, Why does anything exist at all?

Scripture gives a simple answer.

“God is love.”
1 John 4:8 (ESV)

Not “God has love,” not “God shows love.”
God is love, and that love is not soft sentiment. [Agapē] is holy, self giving, sacrificial love. It existed before creation, it brought creation into being, and it sustains every moment of our lives.

That means love is not a side theme in the Bible. It is the center.

• Creation flows from God’s love.
• Redemption reveals God’s love.
• The cross displays God’s love.
• The Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts.
• Discipleship trains us to receive and express that same love.

So yes, DiscipleLife exists because love is real, and love is the point.

How Did This Project Begin?
Most people do not set out to build something like this. I didn’t either.

This is not my “how I got saved” story. It is my clarity story, how God led me from simply knowing true words, to wanting to understand reality as it actually is.

I believed the gospel, I trusted Jesus, I read Scripture, I prayed, I served. But I noticed a gap. What the Bible said about transformation did not always match what I saw in my life.

Eventually I had to face an uncomfortable conclusion.

• Either Scripture was wrong,
• or my understanding was wrong.

Accusing God was not an option, so the problem had to be in my assumptions, my [Worldview], the journal of beliefs and instincts I had been carrying for years.

That realization was humbling, and it was also freeing.

One Prayer That Changed the Direction
One day I prayed a simple prayer.

“I just want to know the truth.”

No drama, no performance, just surrender.

I was not asking God to confirm my beliefs. I was asking Him to correct me, shape me, and teach me, whatever the cost.

God did not answer with lightning. He answered with clarity.

Over time He taught me how to examine assumptions, how to reason, how to test beliefs, and how to follow truth wherever it leads. He used Scripture, and He also used faithful voices who helped bring things into focus, C. S. Lewis, A. W. Tozer, Jonathan Edwards, Dallas Willard, R. C. Sproul, Greg Koukl, and others. He also gave me brothers to wrestle with in real life, men like Michael Stevens, Robert Hill, John Bradly, and more.

Piece by piece, the fog lifted.

The Discovery That Reordered Everything

The more I learned, the clearer it became.

[Agapē] is not one part of God’s nature, it is the center of reality.

That single truth restructured everything for me. It changed how I read Scripture, how I understood discipleship, how I thought about purpose, and why truth matters at all.

This is why DiscipleLife exists.

Not to win arguments.
Not to collect facts.
Not to build a brand.

But to help us see clearly, and to walk in what is real.

The Scout on the Trail
When people traveled west generations ago, they often moved in wagon trains. Families, supplies, hopes, everything piled high. But before the wagons moved, someone rode ahead.

The scout.

The scout was not the commander. He did not control the journey. He did not create the land. He simply went a little farther down the trail, then came back to help others see what he had learned.

That is how I see my place in this expedition.

I am not the Teacher.
I am not the authority.

Jesus is the Teacher.
The Holy Spirit is our Guide.
I am just a fellow traveler who has gone far enough to see a few bends in the path, stumbled in a few places, and learned a few lessons the hard way. Now I’m turning around to walk with others and say, “Watch this ridge,” “Stay steady here,” “This part looks safe, but it isn’t,” “You’re closer than you think.”

Paul said, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). That is not pride, it is discipleship. It is one person pointing past himself to the One worth following.

And I’m still learning the trail too. I need the same mercy, the same correction, the same clarity that everyone else does.

So we walk side by side, listening to the same Teacher, trusting the same Guide, headed toward the same Light.

What Is DiscipleLife?
DiscipleLife is a guided expedition, a structured journey through the major questions that shape the Christian life, questions like:

• Why did God create anything at all?
• What does it mean to be human?
• How do we know what is true?
• Why does thinking matter?
• How does God transform us?
• What does it look like to walk with Him daily?

Each chapter builds on the last. Each section answers one question clearly. We keep the path simple on purpose, because clarity is not a luxury, it is love.

Why We Use a Worldview Journal
All of us already have a worldview. We just did not choose most of it.

Family, culture, school, pain, media, and assumptions have been writing in the journal of our mind for years. Some pages are true. Some need correction. Some conflict. Some are blank.

This expedition is an invitation to let God rewrite that journal, page by page, thought by thought, truth by truth.

Discipleship is not just learning new facts. It is letting God reshape the way we see reality.

Why This Journey Needs a Field Guide
When explorers walk into a forest, they bring a field guide. It does not create the forest. It helps them recognize what they are seeing.

That is what we need too.

Christians often use the same words while meaning very different things, [Faith], [Grace], [Repentance], [Disciple], [Salvation]. When definitions drift, disciples drift. Confusion grows, and people feel lost.

The Field Guide exists for clarity. Not to reduce faith to technical terms, and not to box the Spirit into definitions, but to help us keep a shared language anchored in what God has actually said.

And I want to say this plainly, I’m walking this trail too.
