Spiritual Habit Groups
While Bible classes, church services, and chapels do a great job of delivering vital truths, young Christians need more encouragement to put truth into action through embodied spiritual practices.
Throughout Scripture and the historical church, Christians have been practicing spiritual habits. Here are twelve that we have identified as helpful for following Jesus in all aspects of life:
Celebration, Rest, Prayer, Silence, Bible Reading, Waiting, Friendship, Confession, Fasting, Creation Care, Simplicity, & Embodiment.
The Spiritual Habit Groups are six-week small group experiences through the 12 spiritual habits, helping participants live more like Jesus. The practices are designed to be completed in community. Content is delivered weekly through email and PDF downloads, along with a facilitator’s guide.
Bible Reading
Guide others into understanding and applying the Scriptures more thoughtfully through this 6-week interactive small group curriculum on the spiritual habit of Bible reading. Your group(s) will learn to approach Scripture in light of its various literary forms, and read extended portions of the text with helpful communal practices that apply the wisdom of the Bible to our everyday lives.
