Saturate

Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life

By: Jeff Vanderstelt

Narrated by: Jeff Vanderstelt

Many Christians have unknowingly embraced a lie - the idea that "church" is a once-a-week event rather than a community of Spirit-empowered people; that "ministry" is something pastors do on Sunday morning rather than the 24/7 calling of all true believers; and that "discipleship" is a program rather than the normal state of every follower of Jesus. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and church planter, Jeff Vanderstelt wants us to see that there's more - much more - to the normal Christian life than merely sitting in a pew and listening to a sermon once a week. Rather, God has called his people to something bigger: a view of the Christian life that encompasses the ordinary, the extraordinary, and everything in between.

Listen to God Calling

We in the United States have developed an event-driven version of Jesus that is better described as God light. We’ve figured out a way to continue as the rich young ruler or son waiting to bury a father and be ok with also claiming to follow Jesus. Saturate is the 21st century rediscovering what it means to practically die to yourself, take up your cross, and fully follow Jesus. It is the journey of how our lives are to be saturated in the Gospel. I know God is calling a multitude back to real faith in motion - he’s been calling me for years. This book is a vision of what our lives can be, fully saturated in God’s plan for His creation. Take it. Eat it. Celebrate it. Glorify the God who inspired it.

A must read for the body of CHRIST

The book was great. I believe the author reading it made it that much better.

Loved it

Soooo good. We all need to live missionally. Find your place and do with all your might.

Biblically Based Encouragement Toward Discipleship

Well written reminder that Christians are to live a Christ centered life in prayer and worship and to purposefully share the gospel through proper Christian relationships and real expressions of love for others while mentoring, supporting and accepting support from those around you all with an eye toward spreading the Good News and making disciples who can make other disciples. Very good book with inspiring real life examples. I keep telling my wife, the Church (believers) needs to change. Most congregations seem ineffective to me. Of course, I'm not very effective either, but that is the purpose of a book like this; wake up the individuals in the Church to effect real substantive change that impacts people's lives in a way that is clearly different than the rest of the World and brings healing, understanding and hopefully, ultimately redemption through faith in Jesus. Listen up followers of Jesus. What does He say you should be doing that you are not doing? Read the Word, pray on it and I would even recommend reading this book while you listen for answers from our loving Creator.

Great ideas for all people not just Christians.

I really enjoyed it even though I wasn't great about going through it. I finished it and thought it had great ideas for all people not just Christians. Love on the people around you!
