Solitude Practice: The Quiet Place
In an increasingly distracted and noisy world, we need solitude more than ever. The practice of solitude mimics Jesus’ rhythm of retreat and return: retreat from people and distractions to be with God, in order to return to community in love and service.

In this video from Practicing the Way, we’ll see how solitude helps us break free from noise and distractions to be in the presence of God.

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 verse: John 15:4-8
