Summary

What do an Olympic sprinter, a Navy Seal, and a neurosurgeon have in common? They understand that true success happens through intense training and practice, not by chance.

Hear about the ‘discipleship boot camp’ Jesus sent His followers through in Mark chapter 6 to prepare them to continue the ministry He started. Discover how we can apply this wisdom and training to our spiritual growth.

0:00.0	What do an Olympic sprinter, Navy SEAL, and a neurosurgeon have in common?
0:06.7	They each dedicate themselves to intense training to be successful at what they do.
0:11.9	So today on Living on the Edge, we'll look at how that same principle applies to being spiritually
0:16.7	prepared and equipped. I'm Dave Drury. Thanks for joining us as we continue our latest series, The Road to Calvary.
