Luke 3:23

These are five reflections/meditations on how we can live our devotional life when our faith feels faltering, our prayers seem powerless, and our God seems absent. They challenge our commonly held conceptions about what it means to have a personal relationship with God—reminding us that the extent to which we presently know God is less important than the extent to which He knows us. Because distilled down, this life is for God to know us. The next life is for us to know Him.

We are not meant to live life alone. But how do we prepare ourselves to live in community? Henri Nouwen’s teachings on communion, community, and ministry show us how Jesus lived this out. When we prioritize communion with God, community with others, and ministry to the world, community happens in a healthy way. Explore what healthy community looks like in your life with this 5-day plan.

Whether you’re living alone, married with no kids, or your house is full of children and extended family members, living in the community of marriage and family can be challenging at times. But take heart, you are not alone! Be encouraged by this plan as it reminds you that God is with you, and that He has a plan and a purpose for your life!

This walk will introduce you to Jesus and who He is. Take this opportunity to enhance and deepen your understanding of Jesus, the Son of God.
