Slowing down for loving union with Jesus
Our main goal with Jesus is to stay connected to the Holy Spirit, which helps us keep our loving relationship with Him. In ancient Hebrew culture, all actions were seen as spiritual, and worship was part of daily life. They understood that the spiritual and physical realms are different but should work together. Today, we often see these realms as separate, which influences how we include Jesus in our everyday lives.
Daily Practices of Being with Jesus
These activities help you step away from technology and deepen your connection with Jesus. They connect the physical and spiritual. As you participate, your relationship with Jesus can grow more personal. It’s helpful to do these in groups, such as LifeGroups or with family. Begin with the Rule of Life, which lays the groundwork for your spiritual path. Spend at least a week on each activity or continue as long as needed.
Start here: A Rule of Life guides our daily habits and attitudes to support our spiritual growth.

Solitude helps us realize our need for connection. We seek strength from Jesus before seeking it from others & the world.
Prayer fulfills our need to breathe. It is taking in heavenly air and staying connected with the Holy Spirit daily.
