Book Release Party with Matt Thrift

"You are a disciple whether you realize it or not."
Local pastor and author Matt Walker Thrift will be joining us on Thursday, October 17 from 7-8 pm to kick-off the release of his brand new book, "Follow: Genuine Discipleship in the Modern Age". Join us as we celebrate the release of the book and hear his heart behind the words.
"Follow: Genuine Discipleship in the Modern Age" by Matt Walker Thrift explores the concept of discipleship as a transformative journey rather than a simple roadmap. Matt emphasizes the importance of building one's life on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ, drawing on biblical teachings and the examples of early Christians who faced significant challenges for their faith. The book covers key aspects of discipleship such as prayer, Bible study, worship, fellowship, service, obedience, evangelism, and spiritual growth through practices like Sabbath and fasting. “Follow” also discusses the role of suffering in strengthening faith, encouraging believers to live out their faith in a way that reflects Christ, even in the face of adversity.
