I had the privilege of staffing the last Marriage of the Arts Discipleship Training School and I wrote a little thing for the upcoming school students.

DTS is:

A laying down of expectations; of rights and a taking on of dreams; of destiny. It's a 7 month date with the divine- a deepening of a relationship with an ever present God who is not afraid of commitment and almost certainly won't take you to a bad movie. It's a meeting of minds, of hearts and souls. It's His Kingdom colliding with our reality. It's prayer, 'yeah' prayer- a conversation with someone able, willing, wanting to share His thoughts and then act on them. It's worshipping; bare feet, a crowded room. It's a high stakes game of faith where you already have the winning hand. You'll change beds, countries, attitudes and your life. You'll bring luggage and leave without baggage. You will cry-tears of happiness, sorrow and empathy. It's a choice you'll have to make everyday: to wear grace, to be present, to push in, to stay hungry, to value humility. It's a decision you won't regret. It's written into your history; it's part of your plan. It's a question you have to answer, are you READY??
