Practicing the Way

Practicing the Way is a discipleship resource designed to connect followers of Jesus to our Lord through biblical practices that have sanctified Christians for thousands of years. 

The disciplines we will practice together are sabbath, scripture, solitude, prayer, fasting, community, service, witness and generosity.

Why do these “disciplines” matter?

These disciplines are tried-and-true ways to grow closer to Jesus and live a more purposeful life. Why find out the hard way when we can instead follow in the footsteps of believers who have come before us?

Which disciplines will we practice this semester?

This semester, we will be practicing the disciplines of prayer, service and sabbath.

When and where do y’all meet?

We meet in the Campus Ministries building (van Andel Huys der Hope) on Thursdays from 8–9 p.m. Fellowship starts at 8 p.m. in the Gathering Room downstairs (room 103 in the back near the kitchen) and we split off into groups from there.

What do meetings look like?

We meet all-together as a group and break off into small groups called “triads” (separated by gender) during each meeting. Meetings last one hour, beginning with five–10 minutes of fellowship, followed by five–10 minutes of small-group discussion, 30 minutes of teaching, five–10 minutes of small-group discussion, and closing with creating an action plan to practice the current discipline with your friends.

What should I bring?

Bring your Bible, the current practice’s companion guide, a writing utensil and a friend!
