The R12 Revolution
The R12 Revolution is a movement that was started by Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram, a pastor for over 20 years. The goal of R12 is to fulfill what is commonly known The Great Commission:
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Ingram understood that before Christians could be effective disciples, they first had to be healthy disciples. But that begs the question of what does a healthy disciple look like? “Unfortunately, in today’s Christian culture, many Christians believe that a disciple is a person who reads their Bible more often, and engages in multiple religious activities.
But genuine discipleship flows out of relationship. It is grace-based, not performance-oriented. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple. Christians who live out this kind of lifestyle are what we call R12 (Romans 12) Christians.
These are the types of disciples that turned the world upside down in the first century church. God always uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Living on the Edge is committed to challenging believers to be part of an R12 Revolution.
How do we do that? Living on the Edge seeks to influence everyday Christians through transformational teaching and online discipleship. We instruct and inspire people with teaching that is designed to move Christians to an ever-deepening commitment through a practical and authentic understanding of authentic discipleship. We disciple by providing tools and resources and by encouraging interaction with others in community”
Teaching that is Biblically-Based and Culturally Relevant
“The passion of Living on the Edge is to help everyday Christians become authentic disciples of Jesus Christ through teaching that is Biblically-based, culturally relevant and applicable to the real life challenges.”

The R12 Christian
The R12 Revolution uses Romans 12:1-21 to point out
five things that all Christians
are called to do:
1) Surrender your life to Christ
(v. 1)
2) Separate from the ways
of the world (v. 2)
3) Use sober judgment to assess ourselves (v. 3-8)
4) Serve others in love (v. 9-13)
5) Supernaturally respond to evil.
(v. 14-21)
Will You Join The R12 Revolution?
“Give me a hundred people who love God with all their hearts, and fear nothing but sin, and I will move the world.” --John Wesley
“Wesley’s words were written at a time of widespread moral decay, apostasy in the church, when children were slave laborers, and the slums of England were marked by poverty, prostitution and alcohol. God raised up Romans 12 Christians under Wesley and Whitfield that changed the world!
Solving today’s problems in and outside the church begins with you and me. When “Christians” actually live “like Christians” God changes people, families, businesses, government, and society. Are you a Romans 12 Christian?
Are you willing, today, to join us in the R12 Revolution for our current and future generations?”
For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.—2 Chronicles 16:9
