Thinking with Jesus

Living from Christ in Everyday Life

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if the Christian life is less about trying harder and more about thinking differently — with Christ?

In Thinking with Jesus: Living from Christ in Everyday Life, Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers into a practical theology of participation rather than performance. Drawing from Scripture, pastoral experience, prison ministry, seasons of suffering, and the quiet rhythms of ordinary life, this study explores what it truly means to live “in Christ.”

Moving beyond the familiar slogan “What Would Jesus Do?”, this book reframes discipleship as shared life. To repent is not to grovel in shame but to metanoeō — to think again with Christ. To lead is not to imitate from afar but to participate from within. To endure suffering is not to interpret pain alone but to share it with the One who suffered first.

Each chapter guides readers through identity, perception, abiding, relationships, conflict, suffering, leadership, ordinary routines, and the ongoing conversation of prayerful awareness. With Scripture, reflection, poetry, and practical exercises, this study offers tools for daily recalibration — learning to return quickly and gently when we drift.

Whether in a church meeting, a prison barracks, a hospital room, or even a waiting room during an oil change, Christ is present. The invitation is simple:

Remain.

See.

Respond.

Return.

This is not a call to imitate a distant Savior.

It is an invitation to participate in a living one.

For individuals, small groups, and ministry settings alike, Thinking with Jesus offers a clear and steady path toward a life lived not merely for Christ — but from Him.
