Tampa Tribune columnist Derek Maul speaks from the heart about his own journey to become a true "Jesus-follower" in a post-Christian world. "This life is far too important not to embrace it with absolutely every ounce of enthusiasm we can muster," writes Maul in the introduction. Our walk with Christ is best experienced as an ongoing journey, he says. We can't expect to have a meaningful life if we're living only as part-time Christians. Maul challenges you to forget about being a part-time Christian. Following Jesus is a full-time, day-to-day process, and it's much more about the expedition rather than the final destination. So "no more part-time Christian. No more clocking in and out of this life.

Living in the kingdom must challenge our perspective," Maul says. What's stopping you from jumping in feetfirst and giving your all to follow Jesus? Learn from Derek Maul as he talks about what it means to become a true "Jesus-follower." Click here to watch Derek Maul.
