SPIRITUAL PRACTICES – STUDY
Often, people think of “study” as dry, boring, and tedious. But that’s not the flavor that we find in 2 Timothy 2:15. What we find there is passion, desire, and even desperation. Study is a classic spiritual discipline. Study calls us...
SPIRITUAL PRACTICES – WORSHIP

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES – FASTING
We might think that fasting is essentially choosing to go without food for a spiritual purpose, and that's part of what's happening, but more important than simply choosing to go without food, is deciding where exactly we're going to...
SPIRITUAL PRACTICES – SERVICE
