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!"

Famous quotes containing the words sold and/or movement:
“If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to demand it of him. But the rich man—not to make any invidious comparison—is always sold to the institution which makes him rich.... Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Women who assume authority are unnatural. Unnatural women are lesbians. Therefore all the leaders of the women’s movement were presumed to be lesbians.”
—Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 8 (1980)
