Sold Out Discipling Movement
Kip McKean uses the term "sold out" because "so many have cheapened the word 'disciple'". "Sold out" is the slogan he uses in the new congregations to refer to the doctrine of "total commitment" to God. McKean states, "To be 'fully committed' is to be sold-out." The Sold Out Discipling is a re-branding of the Discipling practices that the International Church of Christ has become known for;however, this time the emphasis is on not making the same mistakes of he past, recently McKean stated at the "2010 World Missions Jubilee": "In my lesson, The Promised Land – On The Second Try, I taught that the Israelites failed miserably on their first attempt to enter the Promised Land, because of their lack of faith – which manifested itself in disobedience, grumbling and rebellion. However, God gave them the Promised Land on the second try, because of their “wholehearted” devotion! Prayerfully, everyone who attended now has deep convictions that though we in our former fellowship sinned and fell short, this “second time” through a “sold-out” faith, righteous living, and merciful discipling relationships, God will lead the SoldOut Movement to evangelize the nations in THIS generation!"

“From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Reporters for tabloid newspapers beat a path to the park entrance each summer when the national convention of nudists is held, but the cults requirement that visitors disrobe is an obstacle to complete coverage of nudist news. Local residents interested in the nudist movement but as yet unwilling to affiliate make observations from rowboats in Great Egg Harbor River.”
