Part 2: Our First Classroom and Beyond.

The World Is a Disciple-Making Machine

Formation doesn’t stop at our family’s door.

Take a step outside and look around. This world is not neutral. It is a disciple-making machine – and it never powers down.

It is full of voices competing for your formation:

Media tells you what to want. Culture defines what success looks like. Social systems train your instincts. Relationships reinforce — or quietly undermine — your sense of belonging and worth.

Each one whispers the same invitation, “Become like me.”

Not loudly. Not always obviously. But persistently. And over time, those whispers become instincts. Those instincts become identity.

They want to mold or shape you in their image…

so that you will be like them.
