In part three of the Disciplines of a Disciple series, Pastor Rob dove deeper into the disciplines of solitude, prayer, and fasting. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the solitary place, and Jesus continued to return there over and over again. We have no idea how to do this because our pace of life is so fast, we’re distracted, we’re all addicted to our phones, and we have a million excuses for why we can’t get alone with God.
