5 Lessons Churches can learn from Brazilian Jiujitsu

I live my life in two worlds—the world of a Brazilian Jiujitsu instructor and the world of Christian Discipleship ministry. Over the years I have seen so much overlap between these two passions of mine. So I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on lessons I’ve learned through Jiujitsu that I believe Christians (particularly those in local church ministry) could benefit from as well. 00:00 - Intro 02:18 - Lesson 1 06:14 - Lesson 2 08:11 - Lesson 3 10:46 - Lesson 4 14:35 - Lesson 5 17:03 - Followup resources If you would like to learn more about our #RefugeeJitsu program and how you can help support us, please visit https://www.discipledojo.org/refugee Check out our Disciple Dojo shirts and gifts over in our online store! - https://tinyurl.com/24ncuas2 “Bible For the Rest of Us” course and materials are freely available at: https://www.discipledojo.org/bible Contact JM via the form at https://www.discipledojo.org/contact ------ Go deeper at www.discipledojo.org   Disciple Dojo is a 501c3 Nonprofit organization.

What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”?? Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo. Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture. Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!
