Despite the unprecedented connectivity of the modern era, our time is marked by isolation, transience, and superficiality. But Jesus invites his followers into genuine relationships, not just around a stage, but around a table - a place that offers intimacy, joy, healing, and commitment.
This Companion Guide to the Community Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. The Community Practice features four sessions designed to be run with your community and is available online for free.
This guide will help you:
- Build rhythms of intentional connection with others
- Create safe spaces in which to share your joys and sorrows
- Confess your brokenness and begin healing
- Develop committed relationships that grow in mature love
Living in community in our time of radical individualism is not always easy - but it's beautiful, opening us to healing, happiness, and love.
