How Dallas Willard Shaped Kingdom Apprenticeship (Keas Keasler)
Unhurried Living | Helping Christians Rest Deeper & Lead BetterShow Notes
What does it mean to become an apprentice of Jesus—not just as an individual, but as part of a community shaped by the kingdom of God?
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling is joined by friend and colleague Matt Fogle for a thoughtful conversation with Keas Keasler about his new IVP Academic book, Kingdom Apprenticeship: Dallas Willard’s Formational Theology and Missional Vision.
Together they explore Dallas Willard’s understanding of spiritual formation, grace as both pardon and power, the church as a community of discipleship, and what it means for ordinary Christians and ministry leaders to become people who increasingly reflect the life of Christ. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or simply longing for deeper transformation, this conversation offers a hopeful vision for becoming apprentices of Jesus in every area of life.
In this episode you’ll discover: Why spiritual formation is about more than gaining knowledge Dallas Willard’s vision for grace, discipleship, and transformation How the church becomes a “school of life” where people learn to live in God’s kingdom Why formation is both deeply personal and profoundly communal Practical encouragement for pastors and ministry leaders seeking lasting spiritual growth

We live in a world that can leave us feeling scattered. Our attention goes in one direction, our responsibilities in another, while our minds race ahead into the future or circle back into the past.
What if your life isn’t something to rush through, but something to walk through… with intention, awareness, and God’s presence?
We live in an age of constant distraction. Our bodies may be in one place while our minds race somewhere else, leaving us physically present but mentally and emotionally absent. What might help us recover a more attentive, peaceful way of living with God?
Life rarely unfolds the way we imagined. In those moments, many of us tighten our grip, while pushing, trying or angsting ourselves into stress or unhealth.
What if the Old Testament law was more spacious than we imagine?
