  • Disciplines of Being a Disciple

    This is just a start. There are many more examples that could be used, but what’s important is that our whole person – body, heart, and mind – be caught up in following the Lord.

    Feeding the senses:

    • Christian friendship
    • Christian music
    • not filling your senses with junk…being judicious about what and how much you consume
    • allowing yourself to “feel” whatever is going on…your emotions tell you a lot about yourself and where God may be leading
    • Forming the heart:

      • Quiet prayer/lectio divina
      • Service (aka hard work done for others)
      • daily devotions
      • working on a particular virtue daily
      • Enlightening the mind:

        • solid books…it’s a marathon, not a sprint
        • online content (talks, podcasts, etc.) …you can overdo this.
        • best way to learn something is to teach it
