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
