Dallas Willard - How to Live Well: Eternal Life Begins Now

This is the first session from the February 2013 "Knowing Christ" conference hosted by the Dallas Willard Center in Santa Barbara, California. The plan for the gathering was to assist pastors (spokespeople for Christ) in fully entering into the joy, power, and dignity of the role assigned to them by Christ, to be the teachers of the nations. These session recordings were released in DVD and audio, and transcribed in book form under the title "Living in Christ's Presence."

Dallas Willard begins the conference by acknowledging that the Church has been going through tough times, where the dominant theology has had nothing to do with discipleship, but has been more about proper beliefs that will get us into heaven. This disconnection over time has become increasingly burdensome to the church. But, he says, “I try never to criticize the church because I know who's in charge of it.” The Church is at a pivotal moment where it needs to focus on discipleship and transformation into Christlikeness, reclaiming the teachings of Jesus as genuine knowledge that transforms lives.
Dallas mentions that he goes much deeper into this topic in his book, “Knowing Christ Today.” Learn more about the book on DWillard.org: dwillard.org/resources/books/...
In the last portion of the session, John Ortberg asks Dallas questions to help him expand on this teaching.

Dear friends in Christ, please pray for me and my mother

Tradition vs knowledge. Hearing Dallas’ heart on this issue stirs mine. It puzzles me that there are so few comments on all Dallas Willard messages. Maybe, because most of what he says, leaves us speechless I suppose.

[@danjustthinking1188]

Indeed!

I'm new to the Dallas Willard presentations and I am gob smacked that there aren't thousands and thousands of comments! This man is a beautiful soul and has such a wonderful way of communicating some very deep topics🎁🙏🏼🎁

People want their ears tickled by how to be rich, healthy, travel to heaven and be told false prophesies. A minority, it seems, want to get to follow Jesus, take part in His suffering and become Christ like in the Power of God's Holy Spirit.

Thankfully it is coming to light how we are to conduct ourselves making disciples. Jesus is head we are the body

Minutes to listen to, a lifetime to implement.
