The segmentation of life is causing us to live in win-lose situations every day. The myth of work-life balance adds to this sense, that for one thing to be successful something else must be failing. When you integrate faith into every area of your life, then discipleship occurs to some degree in everything you do. This critical truth is explained by Ben Sternke in this helpful post:
“Most people have the wrong idea about the cost of discipleship. When Bonhoeffer first coined the phrase, it was a helpful corrective to a very nominalistic faith. But nowadays the phrase “cost of discipleship” stirs up images of spiritual heroes: those who’ve heeded the call and have become a special elite kind of Christian. The Few. The Proud. The Disciples.”
