In a world where things can so often go wrong, it can take a special kind of discipline to remember the good. But that’s exactly what we need to do to navigate those difficult times. And it’s something God has designed us for, something we’ll spend our eternities doing … so why not start now?

It has been said - even in the midst of more opportunities for connection than ever before - we face an epidemic of loneliness, something that gnaws away at us even if we’re surrounded by people. We all need the safety, nurture, and partnership of real, authentic community if we want to grow. And it’s quite frankly exactly how God designed us to function … none of us were intended to go it alone.

Prayer is that spiritual discipline that is practiced most widely (that is, most everyone has prayed or does pray at some point in their lives) and yet most widely misunderstood. Discover that it is both more than you think it is while being less intimidating than you thought. In fact, it can be said that there can really be no spiritual life without prayer.

In our discovery of who God is and what His purpose is for us in all things, there is one singular, foundational source of knowledge: the Bible. While it is not the only way, it is the penultimate one, the one that informs all others. And yet, even with how essential the Bible is for us as we develop healthy spiritual lives, there remains a caution. Discover how to push into this Rhythm of life while not letting it be more than it should.

Though we may not have a clear understanding of it, we all worship something. There is something that demands my ultimate allegiance, something that orders the rest of my life. What that something is determines how I’ll live my life, what I’ll really value, and which choices I’ll make in the end. Rightly placed, this is the most significant factor in what my life will look like. And rightly organizing the rhythms around HOW I worship will bring health or chaos into the mix.
