Why is celebration considered a spiritual discipline? The fact that we're told to celebrate and remember in the Bible tells us that it is something that we might have to work at. Remembering and celebrating God's faithfulness is a spiritual discipline that can happen both corporately and individually. In this episode, Pastor Matt, Kelly, and Chelse…

Study might not be the first thing that comes to mind for a spiritual discipline. The reason why we study Scripture is to know God better and to become more like Christ. 2 Timothy 3:16 says: All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and…

Did you know confession is a spiritual discipline? It’s a hard concept to grasp — that confession could actually bring us closer to both God and other people. But the spiritual practice of bringing our sin into the light lifts the burden from our shoulders. James 3:13-16 says: Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happ…

We all experience the Church differently, but Jesus is clear about the importance of gathering in community. We're called to be unified, bonded in love, patient with each other, and spurring each other on to good works. Our spiritual health depends on our engagement with the Church! Eph. 4:1-4 says: Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg…

What comes to your mind when you think of meditation? For believers, meditating on Scripture might seem like an ancient, out-of-practice idea for the 21st century. Meditation on Scripture is vital to our faith as growing followers of Jesus. Just think about how much Jesus relied on Scripture, as well as Paul, David, and other spiritual giants of th…

Some people have talked about the Bible being like a love letter from God to us. What they mean is that through every chapter of the Bible, God wants to be with us and love us. How cool is that!? How come when I read the Bible, sometimes it just seems confusing or boring? How can we learn to read the Bible to experience God's presence and love and …

You know how you often talk about how your day was with your parents? Well, imagine you did this with God, except instead of just ranting about your day, you stopped to hear from God about what HE saw happening in your day? I mean, he's been present for all the parts that you remember, and he even saw the things that you missed! Do you think he mig…

So many things happen in a day. Much of the good that happens we soon forget or completely overlook, while much of the bad stands out and sticks with us like glue. What is worse is that we are so often completely unaware of where God was present and at work in our day. The Examen not only helps us be more "mindful" (as the kids call it these days).…

How might you live differently if you remembered that the God of the universe is living in you? What would it look like to take a minute (or three!) to pause, put away all distractions, all our thoughts, feelings, and words, and simply spent time trying to be present with the God who is always present with us and who loves to have our attention!? I…

Contemplative Prayer is probably the simplest Spiritual discipline there is. Yet it might be one of the hardest ones to learn because it flies in the face of how we have been unknowingly shaped by the hectic pace of our culture where "doing", "achieving", and "productivity" have become idols that we slavishly serve. Contemplative Prayer works to se…

Have you ever wished that God would speak to you? What if he already has!? The Bible is a big book that has many different stories, and letters, and poems, and a bunch of other things. But we call the writings in the Bible "the Word of God" because we believe that God has given us the Bible as a way that he can speak to us! If God is always speakin…

How, exactly, does a person make disciples of children? Does that simply mean we need to teach them the truth about God, the Bible, and following Jesus? Or is there more involved? Of course, teaching them the truths of Scripture and our faith is necessary and important. But in the journey of being transformed into followers of Jesus, who are like J…
