Scripture Practice: Read
The library we call “the Bible” can connect us to God and change who we are, but distraction, hurry, and confusion can hinder our experience with these ancient texts. Rediscover how to engage Scripture as an apprentice to Jesus.
WATCH: “Read”
In this video from Practicing the Way, we’ll explore why following Jesus and immersing our minds in Scripture are inseparable while learning how to read with a heart posture attuned to his presence.

Scripture Memorization
Throughout the year, we are asking every disciple to memorize a portion of Scripture each month. We believe that one of the most transformative practices in our faith is understanding the Bible and being able to apply it to our lives. The verses that were chosen correlate to the disciplines or content that will be practiced that month.
This month’s verses: John 15:9-11 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17
