In a lonely, fractured culture, Jesus offers a new kind of family. Discover the communal Way of Jesus through this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.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.
Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, the Community Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.
This guide will equip you to:
- 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.
Part of a series of nine core practices that together build a Rule of Life for following Jesus in the modern world, each guide can be read individually or together in any order:
The Sabbath Practice
The Prayer Practice
The Fasting Practice
The Solitude Practice
The Generosity Practice
The Scripture Practice
