In this workshop, we continue our journey from Practicing Stillness into Practicing His Presence—learning how to intentionally recognize, remain in, and respond to God’s presence throughout our everyday lives.

We explore practical spiritual disciplines that can help us slow down, reconnect with God, and become more aware of Him in the middle of work, family, responsibilities, distractions, and the ordinary moments of our day.

Through Scripture, reflection, and practical exercises, we discuss what it looks like to abide in Christ rather than simply add God to our schedule.

God has never stopped being present. Often, we have simply stopped noticing.

This workshop is part of the ChristianJCreations / Iron Sharpens Iron journey of helping men grow deeper in faith, family, fitness, and finances—starting with our relationship with God.

Practicing His Presence — Here, until Home.

In this Table Talk, Christian and Lewis sit down for an open and unscripted conversation about trusting God’s plans, being faithful in the small things, and recognizing the different ways we can draw closer to Him.

Along the way, the conversation moves through Scripture—from Jeremiah and God’s plans, to Pharaoh’s hardened heart, Paul’s words in Romans, and the importance of focusing on what God has placed right in front of us.

Sometimes following God isn’t about doing something big. It’s about being faithful with the small things, staying connected to Him, and learning to recognize His presence in everyday life.

Table Talks are relaxed, honest conversations between brothers about faith, life, Scripture, and whatever God puts on the table.

In this episode of the Iron Sharpens Iron Bible Study, Lewis leads us through Luke 10 as we continue exploring what it means to slow down, examine the posture of our hearts, and choose the presence of God.

Through the different moments found throughout Luke 10, we reflect on the difference between simply doing things for God and actually being with Him. Like Martha, we can become distracted—even by good things—while missing the One who is right in front of us.

This conversation challenges us to ask: What has our attention? Are we serving from His presence, or have we become so busy that we’ve stopped noticing Him?

📖 Scripture: Luke 10

“But few things are needed—or indeed only one.” — Luke 10:42 (NIV)

In this Table Talk, we sit down for an open and unstructured conversation about faith, prayer, and some of the spiritual experiences we encounter along the way.

We reflect on the simple faith of children—especially what we can learn from hearing them pray for others and their needs—and Jesus’ call for us to receive the Kingdom with childlike faith.

The conversation also moves into personal spiritual experiences, encounters with darkness and demonic forces, prayer, and the importance of carrying one another’s burdens.

No formal lesson. No set agenda. Just brothers around the table talking honestly about faith, life, and following Christ.

Topics include:

• Childlike faith and the Kingdom of God

• Prayer and carrying one another’s burdens
• Spiritual experiences and encounters
• Demonic forces and spiritual warfare
• Growing closer to God through honest conversation

In this ISI Bible Study, we continue our journey through Practicing Stillness by looking at the story of Jonah.

Jonah found himself in one of the darkest and most unexpected places imaginable—the belly of the fish. Yet it was there, in the stillness, that he remembered God, turned his heart toward Him, and prayed.

In this study, we reflect on what Jonah’s story can teach us about slowing down, remembering God’s presence, and turning back to Him—even when we find ourselves in difficult or uncomfortable seasons.

Scripture: Jonah 1–2

Iron Sharpens Iron is a ChristianJCreations men’s community centered on Faith, Family, Fitness & Finances, creating space for men to grow closer to God and encourage one another.

In this ChristianJCreations workshop, we explore what it means to practice stillness in the presence of God.

In a world filled with noise, distractions, responsibilities, and constant movement, being still doesn’t always come naturally. But throughout Scripture, we’re reminded of the importance of slowing down, trusting God, and recognizing that He is already present.

Together, we reflect on Scripture, discuss some of the things that make stillness difficult, and explore practical ways to intentionally create space for God in our everyday lives.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Stillness isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about learning to stop striving long enough to recognize the One who has been with us all along.

ChristianJCreations | Practicing Stillness Workshop

In this first Iron Sharpens Iron Table Talk, we have an open conversation about practicing stillness and learning to recognize God’s presence in the middle of everyday life.

We reflect on what it means to slow down, be present with God, and create space to hear from Him—even when life around us doesn’t slow down.

This conversation is part of Iron Sharpens Iron, a men’s discipleship community connected to ChristianJCreations, where men come together to grow in faith, family, fitness, and finances.

Scripture: Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.
