Countercultural Living: Embracing Ancient Paths in a Modern World

In this episode of The His and Her Money Show, co-hosts Talaat and Tai McNeely are joined by pastor and bestselling author John Mark Comer to discuss his new book, Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus. Become like Him. Do as He Did. John Mark shares his perspective on what it really means to be an apprentice of Jesus and to make following Him a practical way of life.

John Mark discusses the difference between being a “Christian” and being a disciple of Jesus, explaining that the two are not synonymous. He notes how the majority of Americans identify as Christians yet only a small percentage are actually committed apprentices/followers of Jesus’ teachings and way of life. John Mark emphasizes that following Jesus is a lifelong journey that transforms us into more loving, joyful, peaceful people.

Key topics covered include:
✅ The need to evaluate whether we are true disciples/apprentices of Jesus or just part of the “crowd”
✅ Embracing silence, solitude, and deep relationships to hear God’s voice
✅ How our habits, relationships, and core beliefs shape us
✅ Slowing down and simplifying to live in alignment with Jesus’ values
✅ Creating a “Rule of Life” focused on being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing as He did

John Mark stresses the countercultural nature of Jesus’ teachings and how they run contrary to many modern values like materialism, hurry, and busyness. He encourages listeners to take small but incremental steps like incorporating spiritual practices such as prayer, Sabbath, and community. The goal is to reorient all of life around following Jesus on the lifelong journey of discipleship.

John Mark ends the show by praying for listeners to have clarity, passion, and courage to answer Jesus’ invitation to apprenticeship. He leaves us with a hopeful vision of the transformation possible when we commit to practicing the way of Jesus.
