What does it mean to walk in the way of Jesus? To explore this question, Mark Scandrette looks to the ancient Japanese concept of the Dojo. What if our churches became places where we practiced being like Jesus? What if we were serious about joining in with Jesus’ Revolution of Love? What if we took the kind of social and economic risks Jesus took and reshaped what it means to be a Christian? As Mark invites us into the Dojo, we find ourselves looking at a Master who might be asking us to walk down a path we never imagined.
Join Pastor Eric in the lounge on Sunday, Oct 21 from 10:00 – 10:45 for week three of ANIMATE.Faith. Preview the Third Session on YouTube.
About Mark
Mark and his family moved to San Francisco in 2000 to start a church. The more Mark got into the life of a Pastor, the more he felt the so-called “Traditional” models of church weren’t working. Instead, he found himself drawn toward this idea of the church as a place where people would become apprentices of Jesus: The Jesus Dojo. The result is reimagine, a collective that invites people into integrative spiritual experiments and practices, with an emphasis on creativity, community building, and social action. Mark was conceived in Spain, born in Germany, grew up in Minnesota, and now calls San Francisco home. He was a child evangelist, and got his MDIV at Bethel Theological Seminary.
