Spiritual Disciplines Workshop

|
Synopsis for the Workshop:
"Why does your dayplanner have TAWG written all over it?" The question came from a curious member of the youth group I was working with. "Well, first of all why are you looking at my day planner? Second of all, let me tell you why - Time Alone With God- is so important to me." I then explained to him two important disciplines (routines) that had become part of my life, Silence and Solitude. Does the word "discipline" feel like a bad word to you? It certainly has had some negative connotations for me over the years. Does it change anything for you when it is framed in God's own words when he says, "those that I love, I will discipline"? Spiritual disciplines are crucial to a growing, healthy walk with Jesus. But just like people often will ignore healthy choices for their own, better physical health, it can be a struggle to make spiritually healthy habits a part of our routine. I look forward to sharing some of my journey regarding Spiritual disciplines and my prayer is that our time together will unlock some new healthy habits that will make life more fulfilling and complete in a fun, interactive and informative way.
