How can I learn to hear God better?

Because God is always present with us – whether we’re sleeping or eating, working or relaxing, worshipping or doing mundane chores – conversation with God can be a normal part of life. That’s why Jesus invites us: “Come to me, learn from me, abide in me.” When we struggle to hear God, we slow down and just enjoy being with God. In this retreat, learn how to cultivate quietness, listen to God and the tone of that divine voice, and hear God in the Word.

Is it possible to live in God’s companionship all day long?

One of the most overlooked qualities of God is that God is relational. God created us with the intention of being with us. Before the foundation of the world, God desired to build a community of people who would be divine “dwelling place” (or home) here on earth. God wants to have  meaningful conversations with us, weep with us, celebrate with us, and be our soul’s companion. Draw deeper into amazing relationship with the One who loves you.

Can you trust God for everything in your life?

Uncertainty about the economy, employment, health, and relationships often gives us fearful, worried lives. But Psalm 23 offers a picture of what it looks like when we live our lives with God here and now, every day. Such a life of connecting with God moves us toward becoming people who live with joy and gratefulness and are able to bless enemies and live intentionally, free of judging others. Throughout this retreat, you’ll see how God provides for everything you need, that God can be trusted to lead you and restore your soul, and that God walks every step with you in all situations. Enter into a life of trust and confidence in God

The Reward of Discipline

It’s not uncommon for an accomplished musician to be able to sit down in front of a new piece of music and play it through without a hitch. To make it seem easy, as if it required no effort. Yet, the “freedom” to play with such skill comes only after years of disciplined practice.

In the same way, the freedom to grow in godliness – to naturally express Christ’s character through your own personality – is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines.

Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty.

So if you’d like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way. Drawn from the rich heritage left by the early church fathers, the puritan writers, and Jesus Christ Himself, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will guide you through a carefully selected array of disciplines, including:

  1. Scripture Reading
  2. Stewardship
  3. Prayer
  4. Scripture Application
  5. Worship
  6. Fasting
  7. Silence and Solitude
  8. Scripture Meditation
  9. Evangelism
  10. Journaling
  11. Serving
  12. Learning

By illustrting why disciplines are important, showing how each one will help you grow in godliness, and offering practical suggestions for cultivating them on a long-term basis, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will provide you with a refreshing opportunity to embrace life’s greatest pursuit – the pursuit of holiness – through a lifelong delight in the disciplines.
