Scripture Practice #2: Meditate
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: “Meditate”
The digital age teaches us to read quickly and move on, but in this video, we’ll explore how the library of Scripture was created for slow, prayerful reflection so that God’s thoughts inhabit our minds completely.

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
