“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

A Lifestyle of Learning
• Learning happens by event and process
• Kairos events allow us to enter a process of
repentance and faith
• Having experienced a kairos event in our lives,
we then begin the process of learning from it
• The result is seeing God’s kingdom rule in your
life
