A Rule of Life is a set of practices that helps us to be with Jesus, become like him, and do what he did, created with consideration of personality and stage of discipleship, balanced between structure and spontaneity and reviewed regularly.

Start small, be specific, and consider your personality and stage of discipleship when creating a Rule of Life.

Balance structure and spontaneity and remember that it's a working document that can be adjusted over time.

Give yourself grace and share your Rule of Life with your community.

The process includes reviewing your current activities, removing negative habits, and redirecting towards spiritual practices.

Response:

Review - Write down everything you currently do (ex: work, church, sports, gym, friends, daily routine, housework)

Remove - Are there any bad habits you have or things you wish to stop doing that lead to negative emotions or outcomes?

Redirect - What rhythms or habits could you add a spiritual practice to or redirect towards becoming like Jesus? (Ex: pray while brushing teeth, listen to scripture while driving)
