Christian Spiritual Practices Retreats
The terms "spiritual practices" or "spiritual disciplines" are actually foreign to many Christians. Our Christian spiritual habits or routines are intended to be life-giving, drawing us nearer to our Triune God, to our true selves, and to others. However, for many, engaging in spiritual practices such as Bible reading or study, prayer, church attendance, or communion often evolve into mere checklists of "oughts" and "shoulds" with little to no spiritual life giving sustenance.
Did you know that there are many other disciplines or practices that believers can engage in to foster intimacy with God and Christian spiritual growth? Jesus practiced many: such as silence and solitude, simplicity, celebration, discernment, lament, practicing God's presence, to name a few. Each monthly retreat focuses on a single Christian spiritual discipline to learn more about and to "practice."
