Rhythm of Life
How do I cultivate an evironment that collaborates with my real life, to grow into who I was created to be? How do I make my faith pracitical? What does discipleship look like within my everyday context?
Practical discipleship is spoken about in many beautiful different ways: habits, disciplines, a rule of life. spiritual practices or rhythms. The intention remains the same: to thoughtfully consider the trellis on which my life will grow. What does a faithful lived response to my beliefs look like? ​​Who is my current life practices, shaping me to be? What are some ways of connecting with God, that opens me up? What does faitfulness look like practically, in my everyday life and context?​​

Rhythm of Life in Communities
Christian history is filled with beautiful examples of how communities organised themselves through shared practices, in order to create attentive spaces to grow in love and character. Some have a formalised Rule of Life, some have shared lituries, each accentuating particular disciplines or pathways. But what is your design? What are the things that will create space for God's cultivation in your life?
We explore embodied ways to live the Jesus life within different contexts. After a decade of experiments in different communities we have developed a “Rhythm of life” than can be contextualized in local communities. A rhythm of life is a way into following Jesus that integrates the sacred and secular as well as the spiritual formation and missional worlds. Engaging with a “rhythm of life” creates discipleship communities following Jesus in everyday life. As each community engages with God and each other they also become a redemptive presence in the worlds they inhabit.
