Spiritual Pathways and Practices

As we connect with God, there are two main areas to explore:

Spiritual Pathways

God doesn’t create people in cookie-cutter fashion. Each of us is unique. As a result, different kinds of experiences make us feel closer to God. Spiritual pathways help us identify the ways we most naturally connect with God.

Spiritual Practices

All of us have seasons where we want to grow deeper in our relationship with God but something holds us back. At times it’s the busyness of life. Other times is a challenging season of life. For some of us, we’ve tried connecting with God, but we didn’t see immediate results. Others of us have questioned how to even begin.

We believe that God desires a relationship with each one of us. What could that look like?  What practices can we put in place to make time with God a priority in the midst of our busy lives?

Connect with God gives you resources to help you–and your group–take practical next steps to connect with God.

Start a New Spiritual Practice

To keep things simple, we've divided spiritual practices in two categories:

1. Practices of Engagement involve doing new things that will draw you closer to God.

2. Practices of Restraint involve stopping some of the things you’re currently doing, either temporarily or permanently, in order to draw you closer to God.

We believe Reading the Bible, Praying, and Building Community with other believers are core practices of spiritual growth that all Christians should always be actively practicing. If one of these core are not part of your current routine, we’d highly recommend you begin here. Once you have gone through the core practices, we recommend exploring some of the additional practices.
