I am so excited that you are choosing to go on this 8 week journey with us. The Practicing the Way Course is meant to be a guide to a deeper level of spiritual formation where you dig deeper into the idea of being an apprentice of Jesus Christ that seeks to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. Each week you will have the opportunity to watch a 20-30 minute video on a specific topic and then gather with a small group of friends to discuss what you have seen and heard. By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to develop a Rule of Life based on where you are in your own life and where you would like to focus on for your continued growth. There is an optional companion guide that you can download and print out if you would like or you can also purchase the full “Practicing the Way” book from Amazon. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Step One: Reflect on your Apprenticeship to Jesus
The Spiritual Health Reflection is a self-assessment tool designed to help you gauge your inner life with God and the person you are becoming in Christ. It typically takes about 5 – 10 minutes to complete.
We suggest taking the Reflection in a quiet, distraction free place, when you have the time to work through it slowly. After you’ve finished the questions, you’ll be provided with a visual overview of different aspects of your spiritual formation and suggestions for next steps.
The Reflection is designed as an ongoing tool to track the trajectory of your formation over time. Once you’ve completed more than one Reflection, the results will include visualized data to indicate movement in key areas of your apprenticeship. The aim is to better name Jesus’ loving direction in your discipleship journey.
May the Spirit illuminate your mind and give your heart peace as you reflect on your life with God…

Session Videos
Each week, you will be most prepared by watching that week’s video and reflecting on it before meeting with your group. Your group time is best used by talking through the ideas in each video and sharing your unique insights with your group members.

Develop a Personal Rule of Life
Build a personalized set of rhythms centered around Jesus.
Wherever you are in your discipleship journey, we’ve created a tool help you craft a set of habits and rhythms patterned after Jesus – your own personalized Rule of Life.
