    According to Bishop Barron, what are the 5 Threshold's to Intentional

    Discipleship? (from Sherry Weddell's book on Intentional Discipleship). Explain


    each briefly.

    Initial Trust
     A person has a favorable affection for Jesus Christ, the Church, a Christian
    believer, or something particularly Christian. Personal faith that is active is not
    the same as trust. People will not be able to move closer to God until a trust
    bridge is built.

    Spiritual curiosity.
     Someone is curious about Jesus, his life and teachings, or any other aspect of
    Christianity. Curiosity can range from a simple recognition of a new possibility to
    a full-blown passion. On the other hand, someone on the border of curiosity is not
    yet ready to change. Curiosity is still mostly passive, but it is more than a
    question of faith.

    Spiritual openness.
     A person admits to himself and to God that he or she is willing to change
    personally and spiritually. One of the most challenging shifts for a postmodern
    nonbeliever is this. The willingness to change does not guarantee openness. Open
    people just state that they are open to change.

    Spiritual speaking.
     The person shifts from a mostly passive state to actively striving to comprehend
    the God who is calling. It's like "purposeful dating," but it's not marriage. The
    seekers query, "Are you the one to whom I will offer myself?" "At this point, the
    seeker is on a journey to see if he or she is ready to commit to Christ and his
    Church.

    Intentional discipleship
     This is the decision to "cast one's nets," to consciously choose to follow Jesus as
    an obedient disciple in the midst of his Church, and to reorder one's life
    accordingly.
