“The Sacred Door: Following Jesus into Solitude,” in New Testament Insights: Following Jesus Christ (BYU RSC/Deseret Book, 2026)

At its heart, discipleship is an invitation to become like Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, the Savior’s call is clear: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). To follow him is to emulate his life—to act with love, humility, and compassion and to replace self-interest with devoted service. Discipleship is more than belief. It is a way of life.

New Testament Insights invites readers to explore what it truly means to follow Christ. Through thoughtful, perceptive essays, this volume models how careful study of the New Testament can yield powerful personal application. Familiar passages take on new depth as contributors illuminate the doctrines, patterns, and lived realities of Christian discipleship.

These essays are designed to strengthen faith, deepen love for the Savior, and inspire a more committed walk along the covenant path, helping readers experience the joy that comes from becoming more like Jesus Christ.

Ty’s contribution to the anthology is a chapter entitled “The Sacred Door: Following Jesus into Solitude.”
