T2: The Cross

T2: The Cross is the second transition “landmark” (seventh in sequence) in the “map” of the Disciple-Making process. This landmark symbolizes how Jesus extends his Kingdom deeper and wider in the disciple’s life by the power of death and resurrection, requiring a transition from self-growth to other-growth. The DM transitions to “walking alongside” instead of ahead.

[Radical Identification: Is 53. We don’t solve problems without incarnating into them, letting them pierce our work and walk (feet & hands), and then solving them by the power of death & resurrection.]

[Intimacy: Related to radical identification. The cross is Jesus welcoming us into the worse of his experience as he give us the best of his. Relates to true and deep intimacy.]
